India’s cricket board has announced the inclusion of 15‑year‑old prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in the national Twenty‑20 side. The youngster, who has been turning heads in junior tournaments with his aggressive stroke‑play and sharp fielding, earned a call‑up ahead of the upcoming series.
Sooryavanshi’s selection signals a shift toward nurturing youthful talent at the highest level, a move welcomed by fans and coaches alike.
