India and Mumbai Indians batter Suryakumar Yadav will miss the initial matches of the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League as he failed to pass a fitness test and did not get the clearance from National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore. A source privy to Suryakumar Yadav’s case at the NCA said: “He failed to pass the fitness test on Tuesday. We will have another fitness test for him on Thursday and if he passes, then only he can feature in the IPL.”
