BCCI allows parents to travel with teenage talent
Recognizing the unique circumstances of a 15-year-old child joining an adult international team, the BCCI has made a special exception to its normal touring policies. bcci secretary Devjit Saikia It is learned that the board has requested Suryavanshi’s parents to accompany him during his tours to Sri Lanka, England and other foreign countries, if they are willing to do so.
According to Saikia, the decision was taken because Suryavanshi is still a minor and will be sharing the dressing room and traveling with senior professionals much older than him. The Board believes that having a family member nearby will help them adapt comfortably to the challenging environment of international cricket.
“He was selected to travel to Sri Lanka with the senior India A team. Since he is a young child, he is still a minor. When he is traveling with the men’s team, who are all adults, therefore, we consider it appropriate that his parents or anyone from his family can travel with him to Sri Lanka.” Saikia was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
The BCCI official also clarified that such permission is rarely given and the provision has been made only because of Suryavanshi’s age. The aim is to provide emotional support and help the youth gradually adjust to senior level living without feeling overwhelmed. The move has been widely lauded as a thoughtful step towards protecting and nurturing one of Indian cricket’s brightest prospects.
“We will request his parents. If they are willing to go, they can go. In fact, his father is going to Sri Lanka tomorrow. That is our thinking. And after that, if his parents also want to go to England, the BCCI will support him because he is a kid. So, he will need some time to acclimatise with the senior boys. So, from that point of view, we are helping. It is not something we would allow all the parents to do. It’s not like that, but because he’s 15, he should feel comfortable, and he should take some time to adjust to the adult world.” BCCI Secretary said.

The upcoming tour may also see an important part of Indian cricket history. Suryavanshi has been named in the squad for the Ireland and England T20I series as well as the 2026 Asian Games in Japan.
