Suryakumar Yadav to lead Mumbai in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy

Mumbai have announced a 16-member squad for the upcoming edition of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT), with Suryakumar Yadav handed leadership duties. Yadav’s appointment as Mumbai’s captain in the domestic T20 competition is a big boost for him in terms of leadership after he lost the India T20I captaincy earlier this year.
Suryakumar’s last appearance came during the Indian Premier League (IPL), when he was still leading India's T20I team following India’s memorable T20 World Cup win on home soil earlier this year in March.
"It is always a matter of immense pride to represent Mumbai. We have a good mix of experienced players and exciting young talent, and I am confident that the team will come together, play with intensity and give its best in every match. Our aim is to go all the way and bring the trophy home,” Suryakumar said.
The squad also sees the return of experienced all-rounder Shardul Thakur, who is back to action after recovering from a finger injury that kept him out of the opening phase of the Ranji Trophy. Indian players Sarfaraz Khan, Shivam Dube and Tushar Deshpande are also part of the squad. Meanwhile, the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy is scheduled to get underway on November 14, with Mumbai kicking off their campaign against Hyderabad in Kolkata on the opening day.
Mumbai Squad: Suryakumar Yadav (C), Angkrish Raghuvanshi (WK), Divyansh Saxena, Suved Parkar, Musheer Khan, Sarfaraz Kha, Sairaj Patil, Shivam Dube, Atharva Ankolekar, Shardul Thakur, Tushar Deshpande, Shams Mulani, Maxwell Swaminathan, Mohit Avasthi, Sylvester D'Souza, Hardik Tamore (WK)
