Suryakumar gave an important statement on Usman Tariq

On Pakistani bowler Usman Tariq, Suryakumar said, “Even if any question is outside the syllabus, you cannot leave it. He has a unique personality, but we cannot surrender to him (Usman).

Okay, so he will play.” This is being considered a sign of Kuldeep’s play.
