Bhubaneswar: With the lifting of the ban on him, promising wicketkeeper-batsman Haladhar Das was on Thursday included in Odisha's Ranji Trophy squad for the match against Mumbai, slated to held in Cuttack from November 29.
However, the Orissa Cricket Association retained Natraj Behera as captain for the four-day elite group A match, according to association secretary Asirbad Behera.
Natraj had replaced Das as skipper following the later's removal on disciplinary ground a fortnight ago on the eve of Odisha's match against Punjab at Mohali.
Biplab Samantray has been named vice-captain of the team for the Mumbai match. Subhrajit Sahu, who performed keeping duties in Das's absence, is set to return to his slot as the reserve wicketkeeper.
