Suryakumar Yadav has been ruled out of the Duleep Trophy 2024, missing the first round on September 2. India’s newly appointed T20I captain, a fan favorite in domestic tournaments, was named in the India C squad for the competition, which begins on September 5.
This tournament was crucial for Suryakumar as he aims to secure a spot in India’s Test team. A strong performance in the Duleep Trophy could have bolstered his case for the IND vs. BAN series.
Why is Suryakumar Yadav not playing Duleep Trophy?
Suryakumar Yadav sustained a hand injury during Mumbai’s preseason match at the Buchi Babu tournament in Coimbatore last week. He is currently undergoing a standard evaluation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru after being advised to rest.
