Mumbai has received a significant boost ahead of their Ranji Trophy quarterfinal clash against Haryana, with Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube joining the squad.

The duo, who recently featured in India's T20I series against England, will strengthen the defending champions as they aim to progress further in the tournament. The match is set to take place from February 8-12 at the Chaudhry Bansi Lal Cricket Stadium in Lahli, Haryana.

Mumbai, the most successful team in the history of India's premier first-class competition, secured their place in the knockouts after finishing second in the Elite Group A standings with 29 points. They confirmed their spot with a bonus-point victory over Meghalaya in their final group-stage encounter.

Indian T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav will be eager to regain his form after a below-par performance in the recent five-match series against England, where he managed just 28 runs. The star batter has been a prolific run scorer in the T20 format but will be aiming to shrug off his bad form with red ball.

Meanwhile, all-rounder Shivam Dube, who replaced the injured Nitish Reddy in the T20I squad, made an impact by scoring a fifty in the fourth match in Pune. However, he will be looking to make amends for his poor showing in his last domestic appearance, where he registered a pair against Jammu and Kashmir.

Ajinkya Rahane is set to lead the team while the likes of Shardul Thakur and Tanush Kotian are also expected to play key roles for Mumbai. Youngster Ayush Mhatre, who was left out of the Jammu & Kashmir match to accommodate Rohit Sharma, is also back in the side.
