India skipper Suryakumar Yadav has said that playing in domestic matches is vital as it provides a good challenge to stay in touch with the game when not playing internationally. "Regarding playing domestic cricket, according to me, it's important to go back to your roots. When we are not playing international games, it serves as a good challenge to go back to the domestic circuit and play there, as it is a highly competitive atmosphere. It helps you prepare well, like how Abhishek [Sharma] and others played [Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy] recently," Suryakumar said.
