The Meghalaya Cricket Association has named its squad of players for the last two remaining Ranji Trophy 2024-25 matches, which will be played against Odisha and Mumbai.
The Ranji Trophy had taken a break in November and the BCCI domestic season then switched to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) T20 tournament and Vijay Hazare Trophy one day tournament. With these completed, the Ranji Trophy is set to resume from 23 January.
Meghalaya will first host Odisha in Shillong on that date before the last match of the season against Mumbai from 30 January in Mumbai.
For these two matches the three guest professional players – Ajay Duhan, Sumit Kumar and Anirudh B – have been brought back into the squad; Meghalaya had chosen only domiciled players for the SMAT and Vijay Hazare tournaments.
