In IPL 2026, only one name remained on everyone’s lips and that is Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Not only India but also foreign giants have become admirers of this 15 year old explosive batsman. Everyone wants to see Vaibhav playing for Team India as soon as possible, the beginning of which has also been done. Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been selected in Team India for the T20 series with England and Ireland. Vaibhav batted brilliantly in IPL 2026 and won the Orange Cap by scoring 700+ runs at a strike rate of more than 200.

Now fans can expect similar performance from Vaibhav in international cricket. Now the Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) has changed one of its rules for Vaibhav. Due to which now Vaibhav will not go alone on this tour. This incident has reminded the fans of Sachin Tendulkar’s debut in the year 1989.

What is BCCI’s decision?

Vaibhav Suryavanshi will not go alone on the upcoming tour of England and Ireland. BCCI has also allowed his parents to travel with the team. The board believes that amidst the pressure of international cricket and sudden popularity at such a young age, the presence of the family will help in keeping the young player mentally strong.

Confirming the decision, BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia said, “He is a child, so we have decided to allow his parents to accompany him to Ireland and England, so that they can stay with him and help him adapt to the new environment. The board will bear all his expenses.”

How does this decision remind us of Sachin Tendulkar?

The case of Vaibhav Suryavanshi reminds us of the early journey of the great Indian cricket batsman Sachin Tendulkar. When Sachin made his debut for the Indian team on the Pakistan tour in 1989, he was only 16 years old. At that time his elder brother Ajit Tendulkar accompanied him, who helped him handle the initial pressure of international cricket.

What are BCCI’s rules regarding family?

BCCI has made clear guidelines regarding the presence of players’ families during foreign tours and long tournaments. According to the rules, players cannot stay with their families during the entire tour. If a series or tournament is longer than 45 days, family members can stay with the player only for 14 days.
