Suryakumar Yadav to captain Mumbai in upcoming white-ball tournaments

Suryakumar Yadav has been appointed captain of the Mumbai senior team for the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy. The decision was made by the Mumbai senior selection committee, according to reports.

Yadav, who recently led India to a T20 World Cup title, was notably excluded from Mumbai's Ranji Trophy squad due to a lack of recent red-ball cricket. Selectors indicated that his recent appearances in the MCA President's Cup did not meet the necessary threshold for four-day cricket consideration.

Amidst these leadership appointments, Yadav has also signaled his continued commitment to the Mumbai Indians franchise. Following rumors linking him to potential trades with the Kolkata Knight Riders or Lucknow Super Giants due to captaincy changes within the IPL, Yadav shared training footage from the Mumbai Indians' camp in Ghansoli.
