New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken a special step to support teenage cricket sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, requesting that his parents travel with him on upcoming international assignments to Sri Lanka and England as he integrates into the senior national team.
The 15-year-old batting prodigy—who recently earned a call-up to the Indian T20I squad following a sensational run in dom
estic and IPL cricket—will have his family accompany him on overseas tours as part of the board’s effort to ensure a smooth transition into international cricket, reported India Today.
The decision has been taken considering his age and the challenges of overseas tours. Officials believe the presence of his parents will help him adjust better within the Indian team environment, which involves extensive travel, training schedules, and critical matches.
Sooryavanshi’s selection is a significant milestone in Indian cricket, with the teenager being widely regarded as one of the most promising young batters in the country. His rapid rise through domestic cricket and the Indian Premier League has already drawn widespread attention from selectors and retired cricketers alike.
The move also reflects the BCCI’s focus on player welfare, particularly for young talents being fast-tracked into senior international cricket. The board is said to be keen on ensuring that the youngster is not overwhelmed as he begins his journey at the highest level.
