The young cricketing sensation from Bihar, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi<\/strong>, who made global headlines by securing a \u20b91.10 crore deal with Rajasthan Royals, is finally free from ICC’s age-related shackles. As Vaibhav celebrates his 15th birthday, the doors to international cricket have officially swung open for him, ending a technical wait that kept him away from the Indian national jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ICC Compliance<\/strong> According to International Cricket Council (ICC) regulations, a cricketer must be at least 15 years old to participate in any form of international cricket, including Under-19 and senior levels. While Vaibhav was allowed to play domestic cricket (Ranji Trophy) and the IPL at a younger age, he was ineligible for recognized international tours or ICC tournaments. Now, having crossed the age threshold, he is officially eligible for selection in India’s upcoming international assignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Journey Ahead<\/strong> Vaibhav has already proven his mettle by becoming the youngest debutant in Ranji Trophy history and smashing a lightning-fast century against Australia U-19 in a non-international youth match. With the ICC eligibility now in place, the BCCI is expected to fast-track him into the Under-19 World Cup preparations. As a left-handed opener with explosive power, Vaibhav is being hailed as the next big thing in Indian cricket, and fans are eager to see him don the Blue jersey sooner than later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
