From this answer of Shreyas Iyer, it clearly seems that Vaibhav Suryavanshi will not get a chance to debut even in the first T20 match against England. It is expected that he will get a chance in the upcoming matches because he was also sitting on the bench in Ireland and Team India had to face a shameful 2-0 defeat in the T20 series.
