Suryakumar Yadav has pulled out of the first round of the Duleep Trophy due to a hand injury

Suryakumar did not bat in the second innings of the match against TNCA XI last week, after injuring his hand while playing on the third day. Meanwhile, the Mumbai team management confirmed that the move was in recognition of his participation in the season opener of the Duleep Trophy.

Suryakumar, the only Test player so far who came last year against Australia, has been named in the India C squad, led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, to face Shreyas Iyer’s India D in Anantapur. India A and India B will play together in the other opening round at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
