Suryakumar Yadav to Lead Mumbai in Vijay Hazare and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophies After Ranji Omission

As of November 5, 2026, India's white-ball captain Suryakumar Yadav has been omitted from Mumbai's Ranji Trophy squad but will lead the side in the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy tournaments.

The decision comes as a surprise given Yadav's leadership in limited-overs cricket. Mumbai selectors have chosen to exclude him from the red-ball setup while retaining him as captain for the 50-over and T20 domestic competitions.

Yadav, who has captained India in T20 internationals, will now focus on guiding Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, the premier domestic one-day tournament, and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, the domestic T20 championship.
