The Mumbai Cricket Association announced on Monday (November 9) that Suryakumar Yadav, India's T20I World Cup winning captain, will lead Mumbai in the 2026 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. In the IPL 2026, Suryakumar made his final appearance in competitive cricket. Despite leading them to success at the T20 World Cup earlier this year, he was not selected to play for the national team due to his poor form. After Suryakumar was appointed captain, he stated, "It is always a matter of immense pride to represent Mumbai." "I am confident that the team will come together, play with intensity, and give its best in every match. We have a good mix of experienced players and exciting young talent. Our objective is to finish strong and take home the trophy." Mumbai will also be bolstered by the presence of T20I regular Shivam Dube apart from the likes of Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Sarfaraz Khan, Shardul Thakur and Tushar Deshpande. Siddesh Lad, who has led Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy this season, has not been picked in the T20 squad. Mumbai begin their campaign on November 14 against Hyderabad. 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)
