Got High Hopes From Sooryavanshi, I Think He Just Has Picked Himself Really, Says Agarkar
Secretary Devajit Saikia: India's chief selector Ajit Agarkar said he had high hopes for teenage batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after giving him a maiden T20I call-up to tours of Ireland, England, and the Asian Games, adding the youngster had picked himself into the squad with his explosive IPL 2026 performances. Sooryavanshi had a stellar IPL 2026 for the Rajasthan Royals and was the leading run-getter in the competition with 776 runs, including a hundred and five half-centuries. He also bagged the most valuable player and emerging player of the competition awards in the competition. What do you say, we've seen what he can do. You saw, even towards those playoffs, almost singlehandedly carried the Rajasthan Royals. For a young kid, I don't need to talk about how well he's batting or how well he's playing. It's not just this season. He's obviously made a great start last season. To back it up for a young kid in a competition that's as competitive and has a highpressure environment, and how explosive he can be, and a gamechanger that he can be. So we've, like everyone else that's watched cricket, or at least watched T20 cricket in India, we've got high hopes of him, and I think he just has picked himself really, said Agarkar in the press conference at the BCCI HQ on Saturday. Sooryavanshis selection comes after he landed in Sri Lanka as a member of the India A team for the 50-over triseries starting on June 9 in Dambulla. Secretary Devajit Saikia said the priority would be to send Sooryavanshi to Ireland and England, while adding that selectors and technical staff are monitoring his every step to ensure his future is handled with care. But we can all see what kind of talent he has, and we're hopeful that if and when he gets an opportunity to actually play for the country, he shows the same sort of ability that he's shown. Obviously, there will be tougher challenges when you play for your country, but he's shown great promise and temperament. So we're all very hopeful, like everyone is. I think he's picked himself through his performances. You always deliberate, because, like the question before, there's so much talent around, especially when it comes to T20 cricket at this point, but it tells you a lot that his performances have made us pick him, and we're very hopeful. With regards to red ball, I mean, he's a kid, and let him just be as he's just starting his journey. I'm sure when the season starts, the domestic season starts, and he plays for his team, plays a little bit of red ball cricket, we'll wait and observe at this point, why jump the gun? I think we're very excited with what he's doing in T20 cricket. Hopefully, we as selectors or the BCCI and the coaching staff can help him push in the right direction. So at this point, we're just focused on, you know, what he can bring to the T20 team, and we'll take one step at a time, elaborated Agarkar. On Rajat Patidar missing out on selection despite being in stellar form to help Royal Challengers Bengaluru defend their IPL title, Agarkar said, You discuss a host of players when you sit there. I don't think you just sit and put 15 names down. So that's always the case. We think all these 15 players are deserving. I think there are a lot of good players in India. We've seen over the last couple of months in the IPL, or if you follow domestic cricket through the season, there are plenty of guys who are you'd think they're good enough to walk into the team. But the guys who are playing are doing as well as we just won a World Cup a couple of months back. So no, I think we picked a really good one. 16 for the Ireland and England series and 15 for the Asian Games. There'll always be players missing out, but like I said, you can only pick 15, and we're very happy with this one. On Jasprit Bumrahs inclusion for the Asian Games, he said, We know how important he is. Plus the WTC cycle, we've still got a chance to enter the final. If he plays well enough over these next nine Tests, this one is not part of WTC, the Afghanistan one. But if you can have Jasprit play the majority of those games and still keep him fit and healthy, it's always the thing. I mean, there's a lot of T20 cricket. You can always bring him back. Asian Games he will be there. So, the main aim is to try and keep him fit for the Tests and the one-dayers. I don't know whether worry is the right word, but we obviously need to improve our (Test) performances. I think England was good and the South African series probably didn't go to plan, but we still have a chance if we play well enough. We know we've got the players, but we've got to play better. On Hardik Pandya not named in T20I squads, Agarkar said, With regards to Hardik, firstly, he's part of the oneday squad right now against Afghanistan. Obviously, if we can get him playing well and keep him fit for oneday cricket, I don't think he's played oneday cricket for a while. That is, at this point, the main objective. We can always bring him back. It also gives us an opportunity to give someone like Nitish Reddy a few opportunities with T20 cricket. So there will be a little bit of rest and rotation with regard to T20. But the main objective is to see if he can start playing well and stay healthy with 50over cricket with the World Cup in, what, a year and a half. He gives us a lot of balance. The World Cup is in South Africa. If he's bowling well enough, I mean, we'll assess how we go in the next few months. That's primarily the reason at this point. On Prince Yadav being included in T20I teams for the Ireland and England series, Agarkar said, It's domestic performance, really. We saw him in the Vijay Hazare Trophy enough this year, and he looked impressive. I don't think he played a lot of red ball cricket last year, but the white ball stuff was really good. Then to back it up in the IPL against really good quality batters - when you play a lot of games in the IPL, it's always going to be up and down, particularly when most teams get 200 for fun these days. So, he can bowl under pressure, which is the first thing that you try and see if a guy can do that day in, day out, and has the skill set, obviously can move the ball, bowls towards the end of the innings. On Prince Yadav being included in T20I teams for the Ireland and England series, Agarkar said, It's domestic performance, really. We saw him in the Vijay Hazare Trophy enough this year, and he looked impressive. I don't think he played a lot of red ball cricket last year, but the white ball stuff was really good. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Not first time, we've seen him before, but he bowled well this season, and that caught our eye, and so he was always there in our planning. This Afghanistan series coming up gives us an opportunity to see what he can do in 50over cricket, but in T20, we've all seen that. He's got the skill set. So, again, like the guys that we picked, they're always hopeful. Article Source: IANS

All Eyes On T20I Captaincy As Selectors Convene To Pick Indias Squads For Multiple Tours
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: While the second session of the first day in the India-Afghanistan one-off Test match is underway in New Chandigarh, all eyes will be on Mumbai when the Ajit Agarkarled senior national selection committee will meet at the BCCI headquarters on Saturday to finalise Indias squads for the upcoming T20I tours of Ireland and England. Following the meeting, Agarkar and BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia are scheduled to address a press conference at 1 pm on the fourth floor of the boards headquarters. India will play two T20Is in Ireland on June 26 and 28, followed by five matches in England from July 1 to 11. The Agarkar-led panel will also pick India's 'A squad for the red-ball series against Sri Lanka, to be played from June 25 to July 5, as well as release a shortlist of players for the Mens T20 event at the Asian Games, to be played in Nagoya, Japan. The biggest talking point, though, will be the future of T20I captaincy, which is all set to dominate discussions in the selection meeting. Suryakumar Yadav, who led India to a historic defence of the Mens T20 World Cup title in March, has been in a prolonged lean patch. He managed only 270 runs in 13 innings for the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at an average of 20.76 and a strike rate of 147.54. Even in the World Cup, Suryakumar wasnt at his prolific best -- scoring 242 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 136.72. With Suryakumar turning 36 in September, it will be interesting to see if he will retain his captaincy or lose both the leadership armband and his place in the side. Amongst the frontrunners to succeed Suryakumar, Shreyas Iyer has been the standout candidate. An in-form Iyer led Kolkata Knight Riders to the IPL crown in 2024 and guided Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings to finals in 2020 and 2025, respectively. He also captained Mumbai to win the 2024/25 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. If named as Indias 15th mens T20I captain, it will cap off an extraordinary turn of events for Iyer, the current vice-captain in ODIs. Iyer wasnt in the T20I set-up for the previous World Cup cycle, though he was in the squad for the series win over New Zealand earlier this year as a replacement for injured Tilak Varma. Other leadership options include Hardik Pandya, who is currently working on his fitness at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru after back spasms hurt him in IPL 2026 and led India in 16 T20Is before. Other candidates for the leadership role include Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, and Sanju Samson. If not for the leadership role, the trio could be in the mix for the vice-captains role, too. Deliberations will be there on including teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and two-time IPL-winning captain Rajat Patidar in the T20I team after the duo had a stellar time in IPL 2026 with the bat. But how the duo will be accommodated in the line-up, already having Samson, Abhishek Sharma, and Ishan Kishan in the top order, remains to be seen. Meanwhile, with Indias Test team set to play a crucial two-game series in Sri Lanka in August, the selectors may also send senior redball players to feature in the shadow A tour for early acclimatisation of batting in spin-friendly conditions and bowling with the red Kookaburra ball.
