Teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will be accompanied by his parents when he embarks on his first-ever tour with the Indian senior team to Ireland and England later this month. The 15-year-old made history earlier today by becoming the youngest player ever to get picked for the national side.
This means that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is on course to becoming the youngest ever to play for India if the team management hands him his debut cap.

He had a stellar outing in the 2026 Indian Premier League season, winning the Orange Cap (most runs) for scoring 776 runs which pushed the Rajasthan Royals into the playoffs where the inaugural champions were eventually knocked out after losing to the Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2.
On this back of his sensational season, the Board of Control for Cricket in India rewarded him with a selection to the squad and now it remains to be seen if he goes on to make his debut.
Ahead of his much-awaited potential debut, it is being reported by the Sportstar that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s parents will travel with him in order to make the 15-year-old comfortable. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia stated that the presence of Sooryavanshi’s parents will help the teenager settle down quickly in a new environment. Saikia also confirmed that all the expenses will be covered by the apex board.
“As he is a child, we have decided to allow his parents to accompany him to Ireland and England, so that they can be with him and help him settle in the new environment. The Board will cover all their expenses.” – Devajit Saikia told Sportstar.
Sooryavanshi is currently with the India A team for their tri-nation series against Sri Lanka A and Afghanistan A. He is expected to play a key role in the series, which will also help him prepare for his possible debut in the UK.
