India’s Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 15, is a prodigy called up for England series as India leaves him out of the initial five-match T20s, signaling a future in white-ball cricket.
Sooryavanshi, India’s 15-year-old batting sensation, is in contention for a senior international debut during Ireland and England T20 tours. He could become the youngest player to feature for India’s senior men’s team if selected, following a standout IPL season where he scored 776 runs and was MVP. Ireland’s 2-0 series win over India and England’s form add context as teams prepare for Durham and Belfast fixtures.
Harry Brook has signalled willingness to captain England in all formats, describing it as a privilege and acknowledging the demanding nature of the role. He has committed to England cricket and rejected overseas franchise leagues, amid speculation about the next Test captain after Ben Stokes’s retirement.
