Former India wicket-keeper and chief selector MSK Prasad has urged current chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar to include teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi into the Indian national side for their upcoming tour of Ireland for a 2-match T20I series as a precursor to the full fledge white-ball series in England which features 5 T20Is and 3 ODIs.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is coming on the back of a sensational outing in the Indian Premier League 2026 season wherein he scored a total of 776 runs ahead of names like Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli. The 15-year-old was a key part behind Rajasthan Royals’ charge to the playoffs where they defeated the Sunrisers Hyderabad before losing to eventual runners-up Gujarat Titans.
