Sports: India's T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav got injured during the Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament. This is not good news at all for Team India before the Bangladesh tour. Team India has to play Test and T20 series against Bangladesh on home soil, which will start from September 19. Surya got injured while fielding. 

A report by ESPNcricinfo said that Suryakumar Yadav got injured while fielding in the match between Mumbai and Tamil Nadu Cricket Association XI in Coimbatore. Surya could stay on the field for only 38 balls in the match and then he got injured. After this injury, questions have also been raised on Surya's playing in the Duleep Trophy. The Duleep Trophy will start from September 5. Surya is a part of Team 'C' in the Duleep Trophy. 

However, there is no information about how serious Surya's injury is and when he will be able to return. Surya was made the T20 captain of Team India from the Sri Lanka tour. There is no update on whether Surya will be available for the T20 series to be played against Bangladesh from October 06. Now it will be interesting to see when he returns to the field. 

Expressed desire to play test match

Surya had expressed his desire to play Test cricket for India some time back. Speaking to 'The Hindu', Surya had said, "Red ball cricket has always been my priority. When I grew up in the fields of Mumbai and played a lot of folk cricket, I started playing with the red cherry. That's where the love for the long format started and it has always been there. I have participated in many first-class matches for more than 10 years and I still love playing in this format. There is no question about it and that's why I have come here ahead of the Duleep Trophy."
