Shreyas Replaces Surya as T20 Captain; Sooryavanshi Gets Call-Up

Winds of change swept across India's T20I set-up as Shreyas Iyer on Saturday took over the captaincy from Suryakumar Yadav, and wonder kid Vaibhav Sooryavanshi found a place in the squad for the twin tour of Ireland and England.

At 15 years and 71 days old, Sooryavanshi becomes the youngest-ever player to feature in an Indian cricket team squad, surpassing the long-standing record held by the great Sachin Tendulkar.

India will travel to Ireland for two T20Is (June 26 and 28), followed by a five-match T20I series against England between July 1 and 11.

Shreyas has returned to the national T20 side for the first time after a match against Australia at Bengaluru on December 3, 2023.
