Starting on August 27, Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav will represent Mumbai in the next Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament, where they will be facing Jammu and Kashmir in Coimbatore. Deepak Patil, deputy secretary of the Mumbai Cricket Association, revealed on Tuesday that Iyer will also be part of the squad for this important domestic event after Suryakumar Yadav confirmed his presence last week. "Shreyas Iyer will play for the Mumbai team at the Buchi Babu Invitational tournament organised by Tamil Nadu Cricket Association. He will be playing the Mumbai v Jammu & Kashmir match to be played from August 27 at Coimbatore,"Patil said.

A key component of India's domestic cricket schedule, this elite event presents Iyer and Suryakumar with a great chance to improve their fitness before a hectic international season. Particularly as they get ready for overseas missions, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has underlined in past times the value of local events in keeping players at the top of their performance.

For Iyer, this rivalry might be a turning point in his effort to land a berth in India's Test team before the forthcoming series against Bangladesh. Well-known for his consistency in limited-overs formats, Iyer is keen to establish himself at the Test ground and his performance in the Buchi Babu Tournament might greatly strengthen his case.

Suryakumar Yadav, who has been India's T20I captain, still dreams about Test cricket. Suryakumar is determined to prove his value in the longest form even if he excels in the shorter forms of the game. His involvement in this competition emphasizes his will to increase his influence in every kind of the game.

Both players are looking for further national honors, hence their performance in Coimbatore could be quite important for determining their future positions in Indian cricket.

Sarfaraz Khan, a particularly outstanding local cricket player over the past few seasons, will lead the Mumbai team. Mumbai's batting order is likely to be strong with the addition of Iyer and Suryakumar, thereby providing a great opportunity for a deep run in the tournament.
