India questions decision to debut Vaibhav Sooryavanshi against England

India's management faces scrutiny over the decision to field 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in T20 matches against England rather than opting for gentler opponents like Ireland or Zimbabwe. Sooryavanshi, who struggled with scores of 13 and 14 in his two innings, faced pacer Jofra Archer in challenging English conditions. Critics argue that the choice might have negatively impacted Sooryavanshi's confidence and raised concerns about his readiness for international cricket. The situation prompts a discussion on the balance between tough debuts and protecting young talent, especially with selectors under fire for not choosing more favorable conditions. Indian management is urged to show patience moving forward.
