Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to use separate dressing room during T20I series

Summary

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 15, will have a separate dressing room during India's T20I series against Ireland, starting June 26, 2026, in Belfast. This arrangement follows UK child safeguarding laws, ensuring he can attend team meetings while changing elsewhere. His parents will accompany him throughout the tour, a deviation from usual protocol due to his age. Similar arrangements will continue during the five-match T20I series in England from July 1. Cricket Ireland and the England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed adherence to safeguarding measures.
