Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Named In India A Squad
Sooryavanshi has been rewarded after a strong IPL 2026 season, where he scored 440 runs in 11 matches. His selection marks another major step in his rapid rise through Indian cricket.
The young batter had earlier attracted national attention through age-group and domestic performances, including his early Ranji Trophy debut for Bihar and a standout century for India Under-19 against Australia.

Tilak Varma has been named captain of India A for the white-ball tri-series, while Riyan Parag will serve as vice-captain. The squad includes several promising young players who have impressed in domestic cricket and the IPL.

The BCCI said the squad for the red-ball fixtures will be announced separately. The tour is expected to provide India’s young players an important platform ahead of future senior-team transitions.
