Yashasvi Jaiswal Makes Shocking Request to MCA: Wants to Play for Mumbai Instead of Goa


In a stunning development that has sent ripples through the cricketing fraternity, Yashasvi Jaiswal, the talented young cricketer, has made a surprise request to the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA). Jaiswal has asked the MCA to withdraw the No Objection Certificate (NOC) issued for him to play for Goa in the upcoming season, citing his desire to represent his hometown Mumbai instead.


In a strongly-worded email addressed to the MCA, Jaiswal expressed his desire to play for Mumbai, stating, “I sincerely request MCA to allow me to play for Mumbai this season.” The email, a copy of which is with our website, reveals Jaiswal’s deep-seated passion for representing his hometown and his eagerness to don the Mumbai jersey.

While the exact reasons behind Jaiswal’s decision are still unclear, insiders close to the player suggest that his desire to play for Mumbai stems from a deep emotional connection with the city and its cricketing legacy. Jaiswal, who has been associated with the MCA’s various age-group teams, might be looking to follow in the footsteps of his cricketing idols who have represented Mumbai with distinction.
