Yashasvi Jaiswal's Surprising Switch: From Mumbai to Goa Cricket

Indian cricketer Yashasvi Jaiswal leaves Mumbai for Goa, securing a No-Objection Certificate. The move surprises MCA, but the GCA sees potential in the young talent.

Indian cricket sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal has decided to leave his domestic team, Mumbai, and join Goa for the 2025-26 cricket season. This move has been sanctioned with a No-Objection Certificate from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), which expressed surprise at the young batter's decision.

The Goa Cricket Association (GCA) approached the 23-year-old left-hander, who has been making waves in Test cricket and ODI formats for India, as well as in the IPL with Rajasthan Royals. Despite a slow start this season, scoring only 34 runs in three matches, GCA sees great potential in him.

Jaiswal's impressive record speaks for itself: 3,712 runs at an average of 60.85 in 36 first-class matches, with 13 centuries. In List-A games, he has 1,526 runs, averaging 52.62, and in T20s, 3,012 runs at an average of 31.05, including 17 fifties.
