Monty Panesar questions Sooryavanshi's Test cricket potential

Ex-England spinner Monty Panesar has expressed doubt about 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's ability to transition to Test cricket, criticizing his current batting technique. While Sooryavanshi excels in T20 formats, averaging 216.32, his first-class average stands at 23.47. Former Australia captain Michael Clarke defended Sooryavanshi, citing Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers as examples of players succeeding in multiple formats. Clarke argued that Sooryavanshi's elite instincts could develop further with experience. The ongoing debate raises questions about the future of players primarily developed through T20 cricket.
