Sooryavanshi Earns Maiden Callup For T20I Tours Of Ireland, England And Asian Games
Indian T20I: Teenaged batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has earned a maiden call-up to the Indian T20I team for the tours of Ireland, England and the Asian Games. With Shreyas Iyer appointed as Indias new T20I captain, he replaces Suryakumar Yadav, who has been left out of all three squads. Shreyas was quite close to getting into that T20 World Cup squad. It was a tough call on Suryakumar Yadav, but you need to reassess your plan moving forward. Shreyas is a well-deserving captain. He is a standout candidate with enough experience. I talked to most people, particularly when it comes to a captain who has won the World Cup. We had that chat. We debated it a lot, not the easiest discussion especially if you've won the WC. At some stage, we would've discussed. Shreyas playing as well as he has made the decision easier, said chief selector Ajit Agarkar in the press conference. India will play two T20Is in Belfast on June 26 and 28, followed by five matches in England from July 1 to 11. They will also play in the Mens T20 event at the Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan, in September. Suryakumar, 35, had captained India to a successful defence of the T20 World Cup title in March, but his prolonged lean patch was always a concern. He managed only 270 runs in 13 innings for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026 at an average of 20.76, while his World Cup returns 242 runs at a strike rate of 136.72 were modest. With the next T20 World Cup scheduled for 2028, the selectors felt the time was right to move on and make Shreyas the sides captain, while Tilak Varma is appointed as the vice-captain. Shubman Gill was vice-captain leading into World Cup. But when we decided to have two keepers he missed out. Axar Patel was vice-captain, but we're looking at what's best for the next two-year cycle. Tilak is a terrific player, and it gives him an opportunity to learn on the job, added Agarkar. Shreyas, 31, returns to the T20I fold after making his last appearance coming in December 2023. Though he was part of the squad against New Zealand earlier this year, he did not feature in the playing eleven. With him coming in, hes now expected to bat at number four, a position held previously by Suryakumar. Sooryavanshis inclusion is equally eyecatching, after being Player of the Final and Player of the Tournament in the 2026 U19 Mens Cricket World Cup triumph. The Rajasthan Royals batter smashed 776 runs at a strike rate of 237.30 in IPL 2026, and has now become the youngest player picked in an India mens squad since Sachin Tendulkar in 1989. Before the senior T20I tours, he will feature for India A in the triseries in Sri Lanka from June 9 to 21. Vaibhav's performances - he almost forced us to pick him. I know he's young, but two IPLs in a row, and we also know what he did at the Under-19 level. We can all see the kind of talent he has. We're hopeful if and when he gets an opportunity, he shows the same ability. There will be tougher challenges but he has shown great promise and temperament. We're all as hopeful as everyone is. He has picked himself through his own performances, added Agarkar. Seam-bowling all-rounder Harshit Rana, undergoing rehab for a meniscus tear surgery done in March, is back again, so as leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi. Fast bowler Prince Yadav, who had an impactful time in IPL 2026, is included on tours of Ireland and England, while Jasprit Bumrah will come in for him in the Asian Games squad. There will be tougher challenges but he has shown great promise and temperament. We're all as hopeful as everyone is. He has picked himself through his own performances, added Agarkar.

MUMBAI, Jun 6: Winds of change swept across Indias 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.

Shreyas Iyer Replaces Suryakumar Yadav As Indias New T20I Captain
His T20 World Cup: The chatter over the last few days on the future of India mens T20I captaincy has been finally made clear at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai on Saturday. In a decisive shift at the top, Shreyas Iyer has replaced Suryakumar Yadav as India's T20I captain, with his first assignment being the tours of Ireland and England. India will play two T20Is in Dublin on June 26 and 28, followed by a fivematch series in England from July 1 to 11. With Shreyas, the ODI vice-captain, at the helm of the T20I side, it marks the start of a new chapter for India in the shortest format, especially with the Los Angeles Olympics and the next Mens T20 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand happening in 2028. The spotlight ahead of Saturdays selection meeting and announcement was firmly on the Mens T20I captaincy question, with Suryakumar Yadavs prolonged lean patch forcing the selectors and team managements hand to look towards the future and finalise Shreyas as the new leader of the side in the shortest format. It is understood that possibilities of keeping Suryakumar as captain till England tour were explored, while Hardik Pandya was also believed to be in the fray for the leadership role. But Shreyas demonstrating astute leadership skills, and him earning the unanimous respect of all people in the dressing room in either IPL or domestic cricket, combined with Suryakumars extended woeful run and him turning 36 in September helped him get the nod of forward looking decision makers as Indias next leader in T20Is. Suryakumar, who led India to a historic defence of the Mens T20 World Cup title on home soil in March, managed only 270 runs in 13 innings for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026 at an average of 20.76. His T20 World Cup returns 242 runs at a strike rate of 136.72 were also modest. On the other hand, Iyers elevation to the T20I captaincy is a remarkable turnaround. He was out of Indias T20I plans after December 2023, and has now forced his way back through consistent IPL performances and strong leadership credentials. He led Kolkata Knight Riders to clinching the 2024 IPL title, and guided Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings to IPL finals in 2020 and 2025, apart from leading Mumbai to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy win in 2024/25. Suryakumar, who led India to a historic defence of the Mens T20 World Cup title on home soil in March, managed only 270 runs in 13 innings for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026 at an average of 20.76.

Also Read: Live Cricket Score It is also the second successive instance of an Indian captain being replaced soon after lifting an ICC trophy. In 2025, Rohit Sharma led India to the Champions Trophy triumph in March, but was replaced by Shubman Gill as the ODI captain before India toured Australia in October. For now, June 6 will be remembered as the day India signalled its intent for moving into the future by making Shreyas the T20I captain. Article Source: IANS

Suryakumar Yadav Meets Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis Amid Questions Over Captaincy Stint
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis: India's T20 World Cup-winning captain Suryakumar Yadav paid a courtesy visit to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at his official residence, Varsha, in Mumbai on Friday. This visit came amidst a lot of speculations about Suryakumar's continuation as the skipper of India in the T20I format. This meeting, which was tweeted by the Chief Minister's Office, was followed closely as discussions about the leadership of India in T20 format began in earnest as India's next assignment in T20I format is expected in the latter part of this month. Today, Indian cricketer Suryakumar Yadav paid a courtesy visit to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at his official residence Varsha in Mumbai, CMO Maharashtra posted on X. As far as Suryakumar Yadav is concerned, he is still the captain of India's T20I side. The question whether he will be the captain for the next cycle or not is still unanswered and is expected to be discussed in an Apex Council meeting to be held by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in online mode on Saturday. As per sources close to the matter, it is not certain whether the discussion regarding the next T20I captain will be on the formal agenda. However, since India is preparing for the 2028 T20 World Cup and T20 cricket is making a comeback at the Los Angeles Olympics, the leadership plan would be expected to be high on the agenda in the coming months. Earlier in March, Suryakumar Yadav captained India in the T20 World Cup title win for the second time in a row and further stamped his authority as a captain. However, his position as captain comes under the scanner following a rough spell in his batting form. Suryakumar's stint with the Mumbai Indians during the IPL 2026 season was dismal as he managed to score only 270 runs in 13 matches at an average of 20.76. It was an indifferent season for the Mumbai Indians as well, who finished in 9th position in the league. He could not make much impact even in the Mumbai T20 league, which he was playing recently, and could not even score a single good innings for Triumph Knights Mumbai North East. This drop in his batting form has also brought about questions on whether he should continue to lead the Indian side or whether India's selectors should prepare a new skipper for the next cycle. Several options are already there in consideration if selectors decide to opt for a new face. These names are Hardik Pandya, who remains a firm favourite for the role, and current ODI vice-captain, Shreyas Iyer, who has also made a case for himself in all the formats of the game recently. Others considered contenders are Sanju Samson, Tilak Varma, Axar Patel, and Ishan Kishan, who have been decent enough when it comes to captaincy at the domestic and franchise level. This drop in his batting form has also brought about questions on whether he should continue to lead the Indian side or whether India's selectors should prepare a new skipper for the next cycle. Also Read: Live Cricket Score India's next T20I fixture is a two-match series against Ireland on June 26 and 28, with the squad announcement to take place later this month, followed by a five-match T20I series in England and three more matches in Zimbabwe.
