While Suryakumar is still is under Mumbai Indians medical team’s supervision, he will visit the National Cricket Academy (NCA) next week for rehabilitation.
“Once he comes to the NCA, we will know the full extent of his injury. We will make a decision accordingly. He is expected to visit the NCA by next week. He is an important player in our plans for T20 World Cup, so he won’t be rushed,” the selector said.

However, one good news for Team India is that Rohit Sharma will be available to lead Team India for the South Africa series. While there were talks about him taking a break after IPL, as Mumbai Indians failed to qualify for IPL 2022 Playoffs, he will get a week-long break.
“Rohit will be available for the South Africa series. We will have a selection meeting during the playoffs. The squad will assemble at the NCA five days before the series for a fitness test,” the selector said.
