“Rahane has come back from the National Cricket Academy (after recuperating from the injury). He’s fine now. I met him recently. The presence of senior players like him will help youngsters in the camp,” Mumbai chief selector Salil Ankola told TOI.

The selectors have excluded experienced wicketkeeper Aditya Tare from the list. Tare was dropped from the Vijay Hazare Trophy last season.

“We had conveyed to Tare last season that he’s not in the scheme of things in white-ball cricket,” Ankola said.
