Suryakumar Yadav named Mumbai captain for Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2026

Mumbai's squad for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2026 has been announced. The tournament is one of the country's best-known and most prestigious domestic T20 competitions. Star batter Suryakumar Yadav has been given charge of the Mumbai side.

Suryakumar is a former India captain. India won the T20 World Cup 2026 title under his captaincy. The batter, who led India to the World Cup, has now been handed the responsibility of captaining Mumbai. He is ready to return to the field and take up the captaincy once again.

Suryakumar stayed away from cricket for some time because of an injury and the rest that followed. He will now return to cricket with this tournament, and has been given this new responsibility. He was seen playing in the IPL in 2026. His form in the T20 format is considered excellent, and Mumbai's young players are sure to benefit from his experience.
