Yashasvi Jaiswal set to play for Mumbai in 2025-26 domestic season as NOC withdrawal request gets accepted: Reports

Indian opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal is set to play for Mumbai in the upcoming 2025-26 domestic season. An Indian Express report said that the 23-year-old's availability was confirmed after the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) accepted his request to withdraw his No-Objection Certificate (NOC) application, making him eligible to play for the 42-time Ranji Trophy champions.

Jaiswal had sent an email to the MCA in May 2025, seeking a request to withdraw the NOC and showing a desire to represent Mumbai in the upcoming domestic season.

“We have accepted Jaiswal’s withdrawal of NOC application and he will be available for Mumbai during forthcoming domestic season,” MCA President Ajinkya Naik told The Indian Express.

In his email in May, Jaiswal had said he wanted to withdraw the NOC since his family's plans to move to Goa had been curtailed. He also said that he had neither submitted the certificate to the BCCI nor to the Goa Cricket Association. The southpaw wrote in the email:

“I the undersigned would request your goodself to consider my request in withdrawing my NOC given to me as I had some family plans in shifting to Goa which for now has been curtailed ! So I sincerely request MCA to allow me to play for Mumbai this season ! I have not submitted the NOC to BCCI nor to Goa Cricket Association."

Yashasvi Jaiswal seeks a move to Goa before tracking back on the decision

In April 2025, Yashasvi Jaiswal had sent an email to MCA, seeking a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to represent Goa in the upcoming domestic season. The southpaw had said that Goa were offering him a leadership position, which he felt was an important opportunity that had come his way.

“Goa has thrown me a new opportunity and has offered me a leadership role. My first goal will be to do well for India and whenever I’m not on national duty, I will be playing for Goa and try to make them go deep into the tournament. This was an (important) opportunity which came my way and I just took it,” Jaiswal had said in April.

Other reports said that Yashasvi Jaiswal was angered when Mumbai captain Ajinkya Rahane and state head coach Omkar Salvi had questioned his commitment to the state side. That apparently led to him kicking the former's kit bag, and his relationship with Rahane had become untenable.
