Sanjay Manjrekar advises caution on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's T20I promotion
Summary

Sanjay Manjrekar has expressed concerns about the immediate promotion of 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to India's T20I squad following his exemplary IPL 2026 season. Sooryavanshi scored 776 runs and hit 72 sixes, dominating the tournament. While there is strong support for his selection for the T20I series against Ireland starting June 26, Manjrekar believes it may be premature to expose the young talent to international conditions. He advocates for a gradual approach to development rather than rushing into the senior team, suggesting continued focus on organic growth in Sooryavanshi's career.
