Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s dream continues as the 15-year-old batting sensation is now set to make his debut for India in the upcoming two-match T20I series in Ireland or the five-match T20I series in England next month. The southpaw who was recently called a ‘national treasure’ was also named in India’s squad for the Asian Games 2026.
Now all eyes are on whether the left-handed opener gets a place in the playing eleven or not. If he plays, Vaibhav will create history as he will become the youngest player to represent India in international cricket, surpassing the great record set by the great Sachin Tendulkar.

I’m sure you’re probably not expecting it, but I’m doing the first T20 in Durham against India. What is that, July 1? I just hope he plays.”
Broad signed off by saying, “I really – I have to be really honest – I think I might be impressed by him. And do you know what? It’s just we’re not buying into the hype. I mean, you’ve obviously seen him; you’ve kept him. I’ve spent the week with Dinesh Karthik, who is one of the coaches, an assistant coach at RCB. And, of course, I think, seriously, what do you think about this guy? He It’s unbelievable.”
