Vaibhav Sooryavanshi picked in India ‘A’ squad for one-day tri-series in Sri Lanka

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has been named in a 15-member India ‘A’ squad for the forthcoming one-day tri-series in Sri Lanka, scheduled to be held in June 2026. The squad, which will face ‘A’ sides of Sri Lanka and Afghanistan in the competition, will be led by Tilak Varma with Riyan Parag named his deputy.

The ‘A’ team call-up for the 15-year-old Sooryavanshi follows a breakout year since he announced himself on the big stage in IPL 2025 with a sensataional 35-ball century against Gujarat Titans. He was then a member of India’s Under-19 World Cup winning squad earlier this year, a feat that he helped achieve with a sensational 175 in the final against England. Sooryavanshi has continued his fine run in the ongoing IPL 2026, having aggregated 440 runs from 11 innings so far at a strike-rate of 236.56. This also includes a league-leading 40 sixes.

The squad also features notable performers from the ongoing IPL including Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, Anshul Kamboj and Suryansh Shedge.

The tri-series will begin with the hosts taking on India A on June 9 and feature a double round-robin format before the top two teams face off in the final on June 21. India A will also play two multi-day matches against Sri Lanka A, with the squad for the red-ball fixtures to be announced at a later date. The white-ball series will be played in Dambulla while the red-ball games will take place in Galle.

Squad: Tilak Varma (c), Priyansh Arya, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Riyan Parag (vc), Ayush Badoni, Nishant Sindhu, Harsh Dubey, Suryansh Shedge, Prabhsimran Singh (wk), Kumar Kushagra (wk), Vipraj Nigam, Yash Thakur, Yudhvir Singh, Anshul Kamboj, Arshad Khan
