The excitement surrounding Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has gone far beyond India, with the 15-year-old garnering the attention of cricket fans across the globe. This has become an uproar among youngsters who feel that tickets for India’s T20Is in Ireland have been snapped up by fans hoping to see him perform. However, Sooryavanshi remained on the sidelines for both matches.The story did not change when India traveled to Durham for the T20Is against England. Despite the growing anticipation surrounding his international debut, the youngster has also had to settle for the bench. His relentlessness has left several former cricketers, including Ravi Shastri and Sunil Gavaskar. Now, former England captains Michael Vaughan and Alastair Cook also questioned the idea of India. Speaking on the Stick to Cricket podcast, Vaughan admitted that he did not understand why Sooryavanshi was not given the chance, though said he wanted to take the matter to the BCCI and chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar.“We have to say to the BCCI and the selectors, Ajit, why didn’t he play against Ireland? Our friend, Son,” Vaughan said on the Stick to Cricket podcast, to which Cook replied: “I’m there tomorrow, and I’m driving like a fan to make sure the 15-year-old plays.”While Vaughan and Cook’s comments indicate a growing interest in Sooryavanshi’s absence, the chances of a change in the Indian team management seem slim. The selectors and coaching staff have been adamant that the youngster’s opportunity will come at the right time.So far, Sooryavanshi’s path in the XI game is blocked by Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samsonboth remain regulars in India’s T20I side. Having played a key role in India’s third T20 World Cup victory four months ago, none of them are expected to lose their place anytime soon.Despite this, the omission of Sooryavanshi continues to stir up controversy considering the incredible rise it has enjoyed in the last five months. The left-hander became India’s first Under-19 captain at the World Cup title, smashing 175 in the final. He then progressed to the IPL, adding 776 runs to become the Orange Cap’s highest scorer.Before joining the senior team for the tour of Ireland, Sooryavanshi impressed for India A in Sri Lanka. His 94 in the final included the fastest fifty in List A cricket and was instrumental in India’s overall victory, further strengthening the case for those who want to see the youngster play internationally.
