Shreyas Iyer has not revealed whether teenage prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will make his international debut in Wednesday's series opener against England. Instead, the captain emphasised the importance of supporting the core group of players who secured the T20 World Cup title just a few months ago.
The anticipation regarding the 15-year-old batting sensation has been mounting ever since his inclusion in the squads for the Ireland and England tours. However, integrating Sooryavanshi into the playing XI would likely require changing India's successful opening partnership of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma.
