Career of only 23 IPL matches, only 15 years of age and level is straight international. Now this can be said openly for Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who destroyed big bowlers with the roar of his bat in IPL 2026, has been called for international cricket for the first time. Fulfilling all the expectations, speculations and demands, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has selected Vaibhav in the T20 team. But meanwhile, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar, who selected Vaibhav, was asked such a question that he had to avoid it citing Vaibhav’s age.
BCCI’s Men’s Selection Committee meeting was held on Saturday, June 6, in which the T20 team for the tour of Ireland and England was selected. Apart from this, T20 squad was also announced for the Asian Games and Vaibhav has got a place in all three. With this, he has become the youngest player to be selected in the Indian men’s team by breaking the record of Sachin Tendulkar. When Sachin was 16 years old, he was selected in the team for the first time in 1989.
Vaibhav has just made a place in the T20 team but there is curiosity to see him in the Test format as well. Agarkar was questioned about this in the press conference. In response, Agarkar said, “For now, we have opted for the same format in which he has performed well. Red ball, he is still a kid. He is just starting his journey. When the domestic season starts and he plays some red ball cricket, we will wait till then. Why such a hurry?”
