Shillong: The Meghalaya Cricket Association has named its squad for the final two Ranji Trophy 2024-25 matches, which will be played against Odisha and Mumbai. After a break in November for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) and Vijay Hazare Trophy, the Ranji Trophy resumes on January 23.
Meghalaya will first host Odisha in Shillong on January 23, followed by a match against Mumbai in Mumbai on January 30.
