Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: Why India's U-19 Star Can't Join Senior Team Yet

• Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's exceptional age-group performances, including a 175 in the U-19 World Cup final and a fast IPL century, have sparked calls for his fast-tracking into the senior team.
• Former India selector Kris Srikkanth praised Sooryavanshi's impact, comparing him to Virender Sehwag and advocating for his inclusion.
• Despite his talent, ICC rules prevent Sooryavanshi from making his senior international debut before turning 15, which is on March 27.
• The ICC introduced this minimum age rule in 2020 to safeguard the mental and physical well-being of young athletes.
• BCCI can apply to the ICC for an exception, citing exceptional circumstances and the player's readiness for international cricket.
