R Ashwin questions Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's selection for UK tour

Ravichandran Ashwin criticized the Indian selection committee over its decision to include Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in the squad for the UK tour. He highlighted potential social media influence in Sooryavanshi's selection, suggesting that the 15-year-old should have been gradually introduced to international cricket. Ashwin, sharing his own experiences, emphasized the importance of team management resisting outside pressure when making selection decisions. Sooryavanshi made his T20I debut during a recent series against England, where he scored 14, 13, and 15 runs before being dropped from the team for the final match. Ashwin's remarks come amid India's inconsistent squad changes throughout the series.
