Apart from that, Sheryas Iyer has been left out of the squad as well, as he is in the Test team for the upcoming Test series against England. starting in a few days from now. Meanwhile, another all-rounder, Shivam Dube has made his way back into the Mumbai squad now — Shivam Dube, who impressed with his performances in the India vs Afghanistan T20I series.
