Shivam Dube Injury: Just before the start of the Australia series, there was a big setback that came from the Indian camp. The star all-rounder Shivam Dube,who plays for Mumbai in the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy season, is suffering from back stiffness, forcing him to miss the first match against Jammu and Kashmir.
Dube’s injury came at a time when he is part of India’s T20I squad for the upcoming Australia tour. Consequently, Dube returned directly to Mumbai from Srinagar on Tuesday evening and has been advised to rest for the time being.

Shivam Dube’s recent performance has been quite impressive. In the recently concluded Asia Cup 2025, he made an impact with both bat and ball under the leadership of captain Suryakumar Yadav. In the final against Pakistan, he delivered an all-round performance, giving away just 23 runs in three overs and playing a crucial innings of 33 runs off 22 balls, playing a key role in India’s victory.

Shivam Dubey’s return to the Ranji Trophy team in the near future seems unlikely. He may have to wait until after the Australia tour. Meanwhile, Mumbai has seen the return of Mushir Khan, who was sidelined last season due to neck and collarbone injuries sustained in a road accident. His brother, Sarfaraz Khan, has also recovered from his injury and returned to the team.
It’s worth noting that this season, Mumbai will be led by Shardul Thakur, who will captain the team in place of Ajinkya Rahane.
