Removing Suryakumar Yadav As T20I Captain At This Stage May Not Be Right, Says MSK Prasad
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Former India wicketkeeper and chief selector MSK Prasad on Thursday cautioned against removing Suryakumar Yadav as captain of the men’s T20I side, saying such a move at this stage would not be the right one and that selectors should instead look to groom younger leaders from now onwards.
Despite a few half‑centuries in the bilateral series against New Zealand earlier this year and a match‑winning knock in the T20 World Cup opening game against the USA, consistency has eluded Suryakumar. After India won the T20 World Cup under his leadership, Suryakumar’s form dipped further in IPL 2026, where he managed only 270 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 147.54, with just two fifties.
With India’s selectors set to meet in Mumbai on Saturday for selecting squads for the two games against Ireland, to be played on June 26 and 28, followed by five T20Is in England from July 1 to 11, apart from picking India ‘A’ squad for the two red-ball games against Sri Lanka ‘A’, Suryakumar’s future as the T20I captain will be a hot topic of discussion.
