The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief selector Ajit Agarkar and secretary Devajit Saikia have named the T20I squads for the India National Cricket Team for the Ireland and England tour and also for the Asian Games 2026. Shreyas Iyer has been named as the captain of the side, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi getting his first senior team call-up.
After the announcement of the teams, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi being named, former England captain Michael Vaughan has shared his views on the 15-year-old teenage sensation. He names the boy wonder as the best T20 player in world cricket at present.
While speaking on the live commentary at the ongoing England vs New Zealand first Test. He backed the decision of the selectors to promote him to the senior team. Vaughan has called him a special player to watch live.
Michael Vaughan stated, "I think he's the best T20 player in the world. Absolutely, it's the right call. And I honestly have watched him over the last year or so and you study when he scores his runs and you look at the eliminations in the IPL. 15 years of age, he got a 97. The next game he gets a 96."

— Test Match Special (@bbctms) June 6, 2026"You look at an under-19 World Cup final, what does he do? Gets a 175. So this kid can just deliver when it really matters. We're watching and studying something very, very, very special. I honestly, at this minute, I think he's the best T20 player in the world."
"Honestly, his strike rates are beyond anything that we've ever seen. He's hitting Jasprit Bumrah's first ball for six, Pat Cummins' first ball for six, Josh Hazlewood's first ball for six. He's not hitting trundlers. He's damaging the best bowlers in this generation. And people are kind of already having huge debates of how to bowl to a 15-year-old."
