Suryakumar Yadav to miss first round of Duleep Trophy due to hand injury

Suryakumar Yadav was the latest name to be added to the list of players missing the Duleep Trophy due to injury, with the star batter sidelined from the first round of the Duleep Trophy. Sustained during last week’s Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament in Coimbatore, Surya has been advised rest and will be recuperating at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.

Suryakumar Yadav didn’t bat in the second innings of the fixture against TNCA XI last week after copping the blow to his hand while fielding on the third day. At the time of the injury, Mumbai team management confirmed that the move was precautionary to avert any further damage.

SKY, who is the Indian T20I captain, recently expressed his desire to be a part of the Indian Test team. Having not played any first-class cricket in the last year, he made himself available for the pre-season Buchi Babu Tournament. SKY’s last appearance in the whites came for India C against Australia, in a team which was led by Ruturaj Gaikwad.
