Mumbai Indians batter Suryakumar Yadav will reportedly miss a few more games for his franchise in the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League.

The veteran Mumbai batter has missed the first two games of his side after the National Cricket Academy denied clearance to him ahead of their season opener.
The cricketer is still being monitored at the academy, and as per the latest developments, the 33-year-old is expected to miss a few more games of the tournament. The cricketer last played in December 2023 in the limited-over format matches during India’s tour of South Africa and was out of action after suffering an ankle injury that required two surgeries.
