Indian T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav is set to play the remainder of the ongoing domestic T20 tournament Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25 (SMAT 2024-25). Furthermore, he is also expected to participate in the domestic one-day cricket tournament, Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. 

After completing the four-match away T20I series against the hosts South Africa, where India won by a 3-1 margin, the T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav was on a two-week break to attend a family function.

Suryakumar Yadav ready to serve for Mumbai

The 34-year-old Suryakumar Yadav is available for the upcoming Mumbai’s SMAT match against Services on December 3. After the end of their match against Nagaland, Mumbai are in third place in Group E of the SMAT 2024-25 by earning 12 points after four games with the results of three victories and one defeat. 

According to the latest PTI report, Shreyas Iyer is likely to continue his leadership role for Mumbai in the SMAT, even after the Indian T20I skipper returns to the squad. The report suggests that Suryakumar is open to bat at any position for the team under the leadership of Iyer. 

Not only the T20I skipper, but Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Varun Chakravarthy, etc. are also busy in the ongoing SMAT 2024-25. 

Suryakumar Yadav will play Vijay Hazare Trophy

On the other hand, Suryakumar is likely to be available for the upcoming domestic List A tournament Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25, starting on December 21. Mumbai, who last won this List A tournament in the 2020-21 season, will target to equal Tamil Nadu's five Vijay Hazare Trophies successes this season. This will be Suryakumar's ideal preparation for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, before which India will play only one three-match home ODI series against England. 

Suryakumar Yadav, who is desperate to return to Test cricket, also played one match in the present Ranji Trophy season when Mumbai faced Maharashtra.
