World ( The cow news digital ) The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has reportedly removed T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav from leadership duties and the national squad following concerns over his recent form, according to Indian media reports.
Sources cited in Indian sports channels claim that the decision was taken after consultations between the selection committee, team management, and head coach Gautam Gambhir. Officials reportedly concluded that India needed a new direction in T20 leadership ahead of upcoming international tours.
The reports suggest that while Suryakumar Yadav had earlier led India to a T20 World Cup victory on home soil, his recent performances and long-term consistency were taken into account when making the decision. As a result, the management decided to move forward with a new captaincy option for the T20 format.
The change comes just weeks before India’s scheduled white-ball tours of Ireland and England, where the team is set to play a series of T20 matches. The announcement is expected to be followed by a formal selection of a new captain after further discussions between the board and team management.
Meanwhile, attention is also turning toward emerging talent in Indian cricket. Reports suggest that young batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who impressed in the Indian Premier League (IPL), could be considered for inclusion in the national squad.
The potential shake-up reflects India’s ongoing efforts to rebuild and strengthen its T20 setup ahead of a busy international calendar. Selectors are believed to be focusing on balancing experience with fresh talent as they prepare for upcoming challenges.
Neither the BCCI nor Suryakumar Yadav has issued an official statement confirming the reported changes, and the situation remains subject to formal announcement in the coming days.
