Mumbai and India pace bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur will lead a star-studded West Zone team in the upcoming Duleep Trophy. The team comprises seven Mumbai players — India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, middle-order batters Shreyas Iyer and Sarfaraz Khan, pacer Tushar Deshpande, left-arm spinner Shams Mulani and off-spinner Tanush Kotian.  

The 15-member West Zone squad was picked by a selection committee headed by Mumbai chief selector Sanjay Patil at the Mumbai Cricket Association’s Bandra-Kurla Complex Academy on Friday.
