Delhi: T20 World Cup winning Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav will now be seen taking charge of Mumbai in domestic cricket. Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) on Monday (November 9) announced the squad for the 2026 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, in which Suryakumar has been appointed as the captain.

Suryakumar Yadav last played competitive cricket in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Despite leading India to the T20 World Cup title this year, he has been kept out of the national team due to poor form. Now everyone's eyes will be on his performance in the domestic tournament.

After being made the captain, the right-handed batsman called it a matter of pride to represent Mumbai. He said, “Playing for Mumbai is always a matter of great pride. Our team has a good combination of young talent along with experienced players. I am confident that all the players will come together and play with full enthusiasm and give their best in every match. Our aim is to win the title and bring the trophy home.”
