Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is set to begin a series of cricket assignments starting Sunday, even as reports indicate he is not currently included in India’s red-ball (Test) plans. NDTV says the selection focus on his upcoming work is separate from India’s current longer-format squad considerations.

The reports frame the situation as a split between shorter-format opportunities and longer-format selection. While Sooryavanshi is associated with a “T20I push,” this does not translate into immediate placement in India’s red-ball pathway “currently,” according to the same coverage.

Across the provided sources, the emphasis remains on the timing and category of his involvement: he is progressing into a run of assignments, but India’s current red-ball planning does not list him as part of that setup. No additional details are provided in the excerpts about match opponents, specific domestic or international fixtures, or the reasons for the red-ball omission.
