The 2018 edition of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy is grabbing a lot of attention. The primary reason behind this being the timing of the tournament. It is being tipped to be the ideal platform for the players to show their strut ahead of the big IPL 2018 auctions. In a recent update, team Haryana have announced Amit Mishra as the captain of their side.

Amit Mishra is set to lead the bowling-heavy Haryana lineup in the Zonal T20 league. Interestingly, the Haryana side boasts of some big names who have played international cricket. Along with Amit, Jayant Yadav is another big name in the side in the spin department. Also, the team boasts of two quality pacers in Mohit Sharma and Harshal Patel.

It is worth noting that both Mohit Sharma and Harshal Patel have been regular faces in their respective IPL sides over the years. Both bowlers would want to put up a good show in an attempt to attract the IPL franchise owners. Meanwhile, Yuzvendra Chahal has not been picked in the squad.

Commenting on the veteran leggie, Amit Mishra has been out of contention for the national side for quite a long time now. He has had tipsy turvy times in the Indian domestic circuit over the last few seasons. He last tasted success at the international level in 2015-16 season when New Zealand had toured India.

Also, Jayant Yadav had made ripples in Indian cricket circuit after a sensational debut series against England in the 2016-17 home season for India. Jayant, who also has a Test century to his name, will be a handy all-rounder for Haryana in the competition. He will be returning to action after a long injury lay off. He has not played any competitive cricket for almost six months now.

In addition to these big names, there is also Rahul Tewatia in the squad. Tewatia rose to prominence during his stint with the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League.

Here is the Haryana squad for the tournament:

Amit Mishra (c), Chaitanya Bishnoi, Ajit Chahal, Ashish Hooda, Rajat Paliwal, Harshal Patel, Shubham Rohilla, Mohit Sharma, Rohit Parmod Sharma, Shivam Chauhan, Guntashveer Singh, Rahul Tewatia, Virender Dahiya, Jayant Yadav.
