The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is likely to exclude Suryakumar Yadav from the upcoming selection meeting regarding the T20I team for tours of Ireland and England. Following a disappointing performance in international cricket, particularly since the 2024 T20 World Cup, Yadav's position as captain is under scrutiny. The BCCI's apex council meeting, scheduled for Thursday, will address this issue alongside the selection meeting, which is expected to take place in Chandigarh or Mumbai around the one-off Test against Afghanistan on June 6. The selectors are considering new leadership options, with Shreyas Iyer, Tilak Varma, and Sanju Samson emerging as top contenders. Additionally, there is a proposal for vice-captain Axar Patel to take on the captaincy temporarily, allowing Iyer and Varma to acclimate to the team dynamics. Given Yadav's ongoing slump in form, the selectors face challenges in considering him for significant future events, including the 2028 LA Olympics and the next T20 World Cup.
