15-Year-Old Batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi Selected for India 'A' Squad for Sri Lanka Tri-Series

New Delhi. 15-year-old young batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been selected for the India 'A' team for the upcoming one-day tri-series in Sri Lanka for the first time. With his inclusion in the squad announced for this series, which includes Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, Suryavanshi's rapid growth in professional cricket continues.

Suryavanshi, a batter for Rajasthan Royals, was a sensation in the IPL last year and became India's highest run-scorer in the U-19 World Cup earlier this year. He played a key role in India winning the U-19 World Cup title by scoring 175 runs off just 80 balls in the final.

Tilak Varma will captain the India 'A' team for this series, with Riyan Parag given the responsibility of vice-captain. Captain Tilak, Parag, and fast bowler Anshul Kamboj are the only members of the team who have played for India's senior national team. Explosive opening pair Prabsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya have also been included in the team. Prabsimran and Kumar Kushagra from Jharkhand are the wicketkeeper-batters.

Nishant Sindhu, Harsh Dubey, and Suryansh Shedge are in the team as all-round options, while fast bowler Yudhvir Singh from Jammu and Kashmir has also been included. Yudhvir played a significant role in making Jammu and Kashmir champions by taking 21 wickets in the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy.

India 'A' will start the series by playing against Sri Lanka 'A' on June 9, with the final match scheduled for June 21. After the tri-series, India 'A' will also play two red-ball first-class matches against Sri Lanka 'A', for which the team will be announced later.

India 'A' Squad:

Tilak Varma (Captain), Priyansh Arya, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Riyan Parag (Vice-Captain), Ayush Badoni, Nishant Sindhu, Harsh Dubey, Suryansh Shedge, Prabsimran Singh, Kumar Kushagra, Vipraj Nigam, Yash Thakur, Yudhvir Singh, Anshul Kamboj and Arshad Khan.
