Vaibhav Sooryavanshi reacts after younger brother Aashirwad, aged 10, smashes century in Bihar

It looks like Sooryavanshi's brother has also decided to walk on the same path as him. Speaking of the 15-year-old, he recently became the youngest to be selected for the senior India squad, having been named in the team for the upcoming T20I series against Ireland and England.

Sooryavanshi broke Sachin Tendulkar's 36-year-old record of earning an India call-up at the age of 15. When the squad was announced, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia confirmed to Hindustan Times Digital that the board would make a special provision for the youngster, and that his parents would be allowed to accompany him to the UK.

“We will make a request to his parents. If they are willing to go, then they can go. If his parents wish to go to England, BCCI will support that because he is a kid. So, he would need some time to assimilate with the senior boys. So, from that perspective, we are helping. This is not something we allow all parents to do. It is not that, but because he is 15 years old, he should feel comfortable, and he should take some time to adjust to the adult world,” Saikia told HT Digital.

Sooryavanshi is currently in Sri Lanka for the ongoing Tri-Nation Series. In the opening two matches against Sri Lanka A and Afghanistan A, the left-hander returned with scores of 14 and 44.
