Middle-order batsman Suryakumar Yadav would be leading Mumbai in the West Zone One-Day league, to be held from February 27 to March 3 at Rajkot.

Yadav, who led India Under-23s to victory in the ACC Emerging Teams Cup in August last year, has had a good Ranji season, scoring 529 runs in eight games, including a century in the quarters against Maharashtra. The move to appoint him as captain has been done with an eye on the future.
