On May 19, India's National Selection Panel, led by Ajit Agarkar, will meet in Guwahati to pick the squad for the one-off Test and the upcoming ODI series against Afghanistan. While these are the formal objectives of the meeting, a report by Sportstar says the selectors are likely to informally discuss the path forward for the T20I team as well.
Although Suryakumar Yadav was the captain when India won the T20 World Cup at home earlier this year, the selectors seem ready to move on from him.
As a full-time captain, Suryakumar Yadav has made 932 runs in 45 matches at an average of 25.88 and a strike rate of 152. He has also made 6 half-centuries, including three in one series against New Zealand earlier this year.
The real kicker, though, has been his poor form in IPL 2026. In 11 matches, he has made just 195 runs at an average of 17 and a strike rate of 144 with just one half-century. This is very poor compared to 2025, when he made over 700 runs in 16 matches.
Selectors looking forward to 2028
Suryakumar Yadav will be 38 by the time that event rolls around, and may not be part of the team's long-term plans.
