The new cycle of T20 International is starting with the tour of Ireland, after this India will play a 5-match T20 series on the tour of England. After Suryakumar Yadav, BCCI appointed Shreyas Iyer as the new captain, while ODI and Test captain Shubman Gill was not included in the team for this shorter format.

Rev Sport, quoting sources, said in its report that the selection committee had also considered bringing back Shubman Gill in the T20 setup and handing over the captaincy to him. The source said that there were two options for captaincy in the form of Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill, the names of both were discussed. According to the report, the selectors took the final decision that Shreyas Iyer should be given the captaincy till the Asian Games to be held in September-October.

Of course, this thing has come out in the report, but Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar had said during the team announcement that keeping in mind the Olympics and the next T20 World Cup, Shreyas Iyer is better for captaincy.

Indian team management is taking important decisions to fast-track Vaibhav Suryavanshi. BCCI is planning to keep a special eye on Vaibhav’s performance and his preparations. Vaibhav will go on tour to Ireland and England very soon. To ensure that Vaibhav can adapt properly to the environment there, BCCI is preparing to send Vaibhav’s parents along with him.

If Vaibhav Suryavanshi gets a chance to make his international debut on the tour of Ireland, England or in the Asian Games, he will become the youngest player to make his international debut for India. Currently, this record is in the name of Sachin Tendulkar, who played his first match for Team India on the Pakistan tour in 1989 at the age of 16 years and 205 days.

At the age of only 15, Vaibhav has been selected in Team India. He is a little childish in nature, hence the board feels that if his parents are with him, then Vaibhav will not only be helped in adjusting to the external circumstances but will also be able to prepare himself for the pressure of international cricket. For this, the parents will be sent on a tour to Ireland and England along with Vaibhav.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi made his debut for India A in the Rising Stars Asia Cup 2025 last year. Now Vaibhav is going to represent India A once again. Vaibhav is currently in Sri Lanka, where India A has to participate in the tri-series against Afghanistan A and Sri Lanka A.

IPL 2026 season was great for 15 year old Vaibhav. He won the Orange Cap for the first time in his career. Vaibhav had scored 776 runs while playing for Rajasthan Royals in the entire season and during this time he also made the record of hitting the most sixes (72) in a season.

It is said that the Indian Premier League can make any player a star overnight. Something similar happened in IPL 2026 with Prafulla Hinge and Saqib Hussain, who took 4-4 wickets in their IPL debut for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Well, every year a new star emerges, but Vaibhav Suryavanshi has wreaked havoc for the second consecutive year.

Now the news is that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is preparing to give a chance to Vaibhav Suryavanshi for his international debut very soon. In a short IPL career of just 12 matches, Vaibhav has scored 452 runs including one century and 3 fifties. His total strike rate is 228.28. If Vaibhav gets a chance to join the Indian team, then it will be a big question as to whose place he will replace. Here you will get the answer to this question.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi will come to Team India

According to reports, BCCI may select Vaibhav Suryavanshi for the Ireland tour. A few weeks after the conclusion of IPL 2026, Team India has to play 2 T20 matches on Ireland tour, which will be played on June 26 and June 28. If Vaibhav is selected for the Ireland tour, he can become the youngest player to debut for India. He is currently 15 years old, whereas Sachin Tendulkar made his debut for Team India at the age of 16.

Who will replace Vaibhav Suryavanshi?

Now the biggest question is, whose place can Vaibhav replace in Team India? Talking about Team India, which is coming after winning the title of 2026 T20 World Cup, Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan did well in its top order. All three are in good form and can be seen in the role of senior players in the Indian team for the 2028 T20 World Cup. The places of Abhishek, Sanju and Ishaan in the T20 team seem to be confirmed.

But there is a possibility that BCCI may choose a young squad for the Ireland tour. In such a situation, senior players can be given rest. If this happens, then if selected in the squad, he can definitely get a chance to open in Team India. If Vaibhav is included in the plans for T20 World Cup 2028, it will be interesting to see which batting order he is assigned to bat.
