Ranji Trophy: Fit again Agarkar to lead Mumbai

Dec 6, 2012

Fit-again Ajit Agarkar will lead Mumbai against Group A toppers, Punjab in the Ranji Trophy league match at the Wankhede Stadium here from December 8-11.

Agarkar missed the side’s previous three games after picking up an injury in the season-opener against Railways, at the same venue.

In the upcoming game, Mumbai would also be bolstered by the availability of Ajinkya Rahane, who has been released from the national team, which is presently battling against England in the third Test at the Eden Gardens.
