India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal broke his silence on Wednesday and revealed the reason behind moving from Mumbai to Goa for the upcoming 2025/26 domestic season. He admitted that despite his move, he will always be indebted to the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA). Why did Yashasvi leave the Mumbai team and why did he choose Goa? What is his intention behind this? Let us know.

According to a report in the Indian Express, Jaiswal has written a letter to the MCA seeking a no-objection certificate to represent Goa in the upcoming domestic season. The 23-year-old player, who has spent his entire life in the city of Mumbai, said that it was a difficult decision. Jaiswal said that he was offered the captaincy from Goa, which he could not refuse.

Yashasvi Jaiswal said, 'This was a very difficult decision for me. Whatever I am today, it is because of Mumbai. This city has made me what I am and I will be indebted to MCA for the rest of my life. Goa has given me a new opportunity and it has given me a leadership role. My first goal will be to perform well for India and whenever I am not in the national team, I will play for Goa and try to take them forward in the tournament. It was an important opportunity that came to me and I accepted it.'

Some time ago, a report said that Jaiswal is one of the players who can replace Rohit Sharma in Test cricket. In such a situation, the opportunity given by Goa can be very big for Jaiswal, who has been a consistent run scorer for India in Test cricket.

Jaiswal last played for Mumbai in a Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir, where he opened with Rohit but could score only 4 and 26 runs. By the way, Jaiswal is not the first Mumbai player to go to Goa for domestic cricket. Siddesh Lad and Arjun Tendulkar had taken a similar step earlier.
