New Delhi: India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav is set to miss the first round of the 2024-25 Duleep Trophy after sustaining a hand injury during last week’s pre-season fixture for Mumbai at the Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.

The right-handed batter from Mumbai is currently at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru for a routine assessment and has been advised to rest, as per a report by ESPNcricinfo.

The middle-order batter didn’t bat for Mumbai in the second innings of the match against TNCA XI last week after injuring his hand while fielding on the third day. However, the Mumbai team management called the decision precautionary as Suryakumar was eyeing to play Duleep Trophy to boost his Test bid ahead of the busy season. The 33-year-old, who has not played first-class cricket for more than a year, made himself available for the pre-season Buchi Babu Tournament to warm up for the upcoming two-Test series against Bangladesh later this month.  (IANS)
