Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to Use Separate Changing Rooms During England T20I Series Due to Safeguarding Rules
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, set to become India's youngest international cricketer at 15, will use separate changing rooms during India's upcoming England T20I series due to ICC and ECB safeguarding regulations prohibiting players under 16 from using adult facilities. While he will have his own dressing room for changing, Sooryavanshi can join the team dressing room during matches and meetings. His parents are accompanying him for support, and the ECB is coordinating with BCCI to ensure compliance with these protocols.
