BCCI Rule Excludes Vaibhav Sooryavanshi from India U19 Squad for Australia Series
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, despite being only 15, was excluded from India's U19 squad for the upcoming series against Australia due to a BCCI rule introduced in 2016 that limits players to one Under-19 World Cup appearance. Having already played in and won the 2026 U19 World Cup, Sooryavanshi is ineligible for the next cycle. He is currently focusing on senior domestic cricket, including the Duleep Trophy and international T20Is, while selectors prioritize fresh talent for the new U19 cycle.
