Suryakumar Yadav will captain Team India at the Asia Cup 2025. The T20I skipper has been under rehabilitation after undergoing a lower-right abdomen hernia surgery in June. After featuring in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Mumbai T20 League, Suryakumar had travelled to Munich, Germany. Post that, he flew to England to consult with a sports hernia specialist.
“Underwent surgery for a sports hernia in the lower right abdomen. Grateful to share that after a smooth surgery, I’m already on the road to recovery. Can’t wait to be back,” Suryakumar had written while providing an update.
It was reported that Suryakumar won’t recover until August and will therefore miss the upcoming India tour of Bangladesh. The series was postponed, and the Indian T20I captain checked into the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Centre of Excellence (COE) in early August.
