Yashasvi Jaiswal Changes His Stance and Will Remain with Mumbai Next Season

Yashasvi Jaiswal to continue with Mumbai

However, a recent statement by MCA President Ajinkya Naik has confirmed in a press release that they have accepted the NOC withdrawal request by Yashasvi Jaiswal. Now, the batter has changed his mind and decided to remain with the Mumbai team.

"Yashasvi has always been a proud product of Mumbai cricket," said Ajinkya Naik, president of the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), in a formal press statement. We have accepted Jaiswal's withdrawal NOC application, and he will be available for Mumbai in the forthcoming domestic season."

During the IPL 2025 season, there was a lot of controversy surrounding Rajasthan Royals' opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal. With regular captain Sanju Samson unavailable due to injury, the Rajasthan Royals preferred Riyan Parag as the captain over Jaiswal, who had delivered some great previous few seasons. 

After that, rumours surfaced that Yashasvi is not happy with the management's decision to overlook him as a captaincy candidate. Throughout the season, multiple reports stated that he is looking for a way out of the Royals camp for next season. 

Soon after, further reports added that Yashasvi Jaiswal has submitted a request for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) to join the Goa team. The reports further added that Goa fulfilled his ambition of leadership by offering him captaincy.

Nevertheless, recent rumors indicate that Jaiswal has decided to stay with Mumbai ahead of the upcoming domestic season and has requested to withdraw his previous NOC claim following the end of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. MCA President Ajinkya Naik has now confirmed that Yashasvi will continue with Mumbai.
