After walking out of the squad in a huff for being dropped from the playing XI in the league stage of the Ranji Trophy, former India pacer Ajit Agarkar has returned to the Mumbai team for its West Zone One-day Leaue campaign.
Under pressure after Mumbai failed to clinch the Ranji Trophy title in the last two seasons, captain Wasim Jaffer stepped down from his post today after a stint of four years at the helm but will be available as a player.
The Mumbai Cricket Association will not take any action against India discard Ajit Agarkar for returning home in a huff after being dropped from the Mumbai team against Orissa in the Ranji Trophy Elite match at Cuttack as he had taken permission to do so.
India's pace spearhead Zaheer Khan will test his match fitness after he underwent an ankle surgery in England in August when he plays for Mumbai in their fourth Ranji Trophy Elite Group A match against Orissa at Cuttack from November 29-December 2.
Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) players are allowed to carry their mobile handsets into the dressing room, but are not authorised to use them when a Ranji Trophy tie is in progress, said its joint secretary Nitin Dalal.
