Sooryavanshi in line for maiden call-up
Home The 15-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is likely to be named in India's T20 squad while skipper Suryakumar Yadav could get the axe when selectors meet on Saturday, according to reports. Sooryavanshi had a stellar IPL for Rajasthan Royals, finishing top of the batting charts with 776 runs, including a hundred and five half-centuries. The left-handed opener is in line to be picked for two T20 matches in Ireland, followed by five games in England. "The manner in which 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshismashed bowling attacks in his first full IPL season, and the way in which he responded to match situations, have convinced the selectors that he needs to be given the opportunity to play T20Is," Indian website ESPNcricinfo said. Batting great Sachin Tendulkar played his first Test for India at 16 years and 205 days in 1989.
