Mullanpur, June 3: Suryakumar Yadav is set to be removed as captain of the India T20 team and the all-powerful Apex Council might be informed of his status even before the squad for the UK tour is selected.
Shreyas Iyer and Tilak Varma have emerged as the top contenders to succeed Surya as the leader of the Indian T20 side.
It is expected that BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia will apprise the Apex Council about whether the national selection committee and head coach Gautam Gambhir are on the same page regarding Surya’s removal.
It is clear that if the Indian middle order batter is removed from captaincy, he won’t also remain in the side as a player after nearly 18 months of non performance. (PTI)
