When the domestic red-ball season began, Suryakumar Yadav had made himself available for selection for Ranji Trophy 2026 so that he can regain his form and rhythm.
However, at that time the Mumbai selectors did not include him in the Ranji team. The selection committee believed that Surya has not played any red-ball match in the last 18 months, hence it would not be right to field him directly in a difficult format like Ranji Trophy. Apart from this, there were reports of him not being fully active in the training camp, due to which he had to be left out of the Ranji team. This decision made a lot of headlines at that time and was also discussed at length in sports circles.
