Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) Secretary Unmesh Khanwilkar, while talking to reporters on Tuesday, said that Suryakumar is a part of the team, hence there is a possibility of him playing in this match. He said, ‘He is the Indian captain. When a captain plays against a team, it is a morale booster for that team and proves to be a good cricket experience for all the players.

At the same time, Suryakumar Yadav has been one of the biggest stars of the 2018 edition of T20 Mumbai League.

MCA teams will also be able to go to Uganda if needed.
Surya did not bat in IPL 2026
Suryakumar Yadav has been struggling with poor form for some time. His bat remained silent even in IPL 2026. He scored only 270 runs in 13 matches at an average of 20.76. He could score only 2 half-centuries in the entire season, during which his strike rate was 147.54, which was much lower than the last few seasons. In such a situation, his eyes will be on returning to form in T20 Mumbai League. This league is going to start from June 1.
