The excitement surrounding Vaibhav Suryavanshi has extended far beyond India, with the 15-year-old capturing the attention of cricket fans around the world. Such has been the hype around the teenage sensation that supporters have been buying tickets for India’s T20I matches in Ireland in the hope of seeing him in action. However, Suryavanshi remained on the sidelines during the two-match series.The story didn’t change after India traveled to Durham for the T20I against England. Despite growing anticipation surrounding his international debut, the youngster once again had to make his way to the bench. His frequent misses have surprised many former cricketers including Ravi Shastri Sunil Gavaskar. Now, the former England captain michael vaughn And Alastair Cook has also raised questions on India’s decision.Speaking on the Stick to Cricket podcast, Vaughan admitted that he could not understand why Suryavanshi was not given a chance, even as he suggested that he would like to ask questions directly to the BCCI and selection committee chairman Ajit Agarkar.Vaughan said on the Stick to Cricket podcast, “We should be saying to the BCCI and the selectors, Ajit, how come he didn’t play against Ireland? Our guy, the kid,” Cook replied: “I’m there tomorrow, and I’m driving as a fan to make sure that 15-year-old kid plays.”While Vaughan and Cook’s comments reflect growing concern over Suryavanshi’s absence, the Indian team management seems unlikely to change its stance. The selectors and coaching staff have consistently said that Kishore will get his chance at the appropriate time.At present, Suryavanshi’s path to joining the playing eleven is closed. Abhishek Sharma And sanju samsonBoth of them are firmly established in India’s T20I team. After playing a key role in India’s third T20 World Cup win four months ago, neither batsman is expected to lose his place any time soon.Nevertheless, its omission has continued to spark debate given Sooryavanshi’s extraordinary growth over the past five months. This left-handed player, captaining India for the first time, led India to the Under-19 World Cup title and played a brilliant inning of 175 runs in the final. He then continued that momentum in the IPL and became the youngest Orange Cap winner by scoring 776 runs.Suryavanshi also impressed for India A in Sri Lanka, before joining the senior team for the Ireland tour. His match-winning 94 in the final included the fastest half-century in List A cricket and played a decisive role in India’s comprehensive victory, further strengthening the case for those eager to see the teenage prodigy make his international debut.
