Sachin Tendulkar, Wasim Jaffer and Zaheer Khan will turn out for Mumbai in the last round of the Ranji Trophy league matches after their return from the South African tour.

The three, currently playing in the second Test against the Proteas in Durban, will represent Mumbai against Maharashtra in the sixth Elite Group 'B' match to be played in Nasik from January 10-13, Mumbai Cricket Association treasurer Ratnakar Shetty said in Mumbai on Wednesday.

The South African tour ends with the third Test scheduled for January 2-6 in Cape Town. India currently lead the series 1-0.

Chairman of the Mumbai selection panel, Dilip Vengsarkar, who is presently with the Indian team in South Africa, discussed the matter with the three players and they agreed, Shetty said.

Mumbai, who are yet to earn a point from their first three matches, will also be bolstered by the inclusion of Ajit Agarkar for the Ranji Trophy fifth round.

The paceman will take the field against Rajasthan in Mumbai from January 2-5.
