Fifteen-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, set to become India’s youngest international cricketer if he debuts, will use separate changing-room arrangements during India’s upcoming England tour for safeguarding reasons. Multiple reports say the India teenager will not share changing facilities with senior players under rules applied for under-16 athletes, coordinated between the ECB and BCCI and aligned with ICC/ECB safeguarding requirements. The Guardian reports he must use his own changing room on his first international tour. Times of India similarly says the ECB has outlined that he will have a separate changing room throughout the tour venues. Free Press Journal also reports that he is likely to have dedicated changing-room facilities rather than sharing them with the senior India squad. Separately, NDTV highlights the growing anticipation around Sooryavanshi’s potential senior debut, noting India begin their T20I series against England on Wednesday, after a T20I against Ireland in Belfast. Reports also indicate his parents are expected to accompany him during the tour. The England series then follows as a five-match T20I stretch.
