Sri Lanka A and India A begin their one-day tri-series today, also involving Afghanistan. Much attention centers on 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, already in India’s T20 side, as he adjusts to 50-over cricket on slower pitches. Captain Tilak Varma sees the event as key development time for emerging players. He praised Sooryavanshi’s Under-19 World Cup form and expects him to handle conditions well ahead of senior tours. Tilak also welcomes the leadership chance, drawing from Rohit Sharma’s methods. The squad includes IPL players such as Ruturaj Gaikwad, Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya.
