Mumbai Indians batter Suryakumar Yadav will face a second fitness test on March 21 to decide on his participation in IPL 2024. The star batter did not receive clearance from NCA for the starting of the upcoming IPL. He will miss MI’s opener against Gujarat Titans.
Suryakumar Yadav to face second test on March 21
As per Cricbuzz, SKY will undergo another fitness test on March 21 to determine his participation in IPL 2024. Suryakumar went through a fitness test on Tuesday. The NCA management, however, withheld his clearance. This means SKY would have to wait for more before he could make his return.
When will Suryakumar Yadav return?
SKY joined NCA to undergo rehab last week and may need at least two weeks to be back at full fitness. Considering he is crucial to India’s plans in T20 World Cup 2024, BCCI isn’t rushing his return.

What MI coach says about SKY’s return
“Every time I look at my WhatsApp’s there’s reports of other teams also losing players. We trust our medical team that they’re doing the right things. Look, if we lose one or two from fitness perspective, it is what it is. That’s important and we just have to keep on the right track and sharp on replacements,” MI coach Boucher said ahead of IPL 2024.
