Mumbai will be boosted by the presence of star batters Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav in their upcoming Buchi Babu Tournament fixture against Jammu and Kashmir. The match is set to take place in Coimbatore on August 27th.
Suryakumar’s participation was confirmed last week, and now Mumbai Cricket Association joint secretary Deepak Patil has officially stated that Iyer will also be available for the game. This move comes at the behest of the BCCI, who have urged India’s international players to participate in domestic tournaments ahead of a busy international schedule.
This tournament offers both Iyer and Yadav a valuable chance to regain their competitive edge before the Duleep Trophy. Iyer will be aiming to solidify his position in India’s Test squad for the upcoming series against Bangladesh, while Suryakumar, despite his focus on T20 Internationals, hasn’t given up on his Test dreams and will be keen to seize any opportunity to showcase his skills.
The Mumbai team will be led by the talented Sarfaraz Khan, and the inclusion of Iyer and Yadav adds significant firepower to their batting lineup. This clash between Mumbai and Jammu and Kashmir is sure to be an exciting encounter, with the presence of these two high-profile Indian players adding another layer of interest to the tournament.
