The India T20 player, who scored two crucial centuries - against Uttar Pradesh and in the last game versus Assam - had been rested for the Chhattisgarh match
earlier this month due to stiffness in his legs. "He [Dube] is unfit and has been advised rest till February 28," Mumbai chief selector Raju Kulkarni told mid-day on Tuesday.

Young spin bowling all-rounder Musheer Khan, who recently helped India reach the U-19 World Cup final against Australia in South Africa, has replaced Dube in the 16-member squad. Musheer represented Mumbai in three first-class games last season.
