Bihar's Vaibhav Suryavanshi Joins India A: BCA Chief Celebrates

In a significant boost to Indian cricket, 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi from Bihar's Samastipur district has been named in the India A squad for the tri-series ODIs against Sri Lanka A and Afghanistan A. The BCCI announcement has sent waves of joy through Bihar, with BCA President Harsh Vardhan calling it 'a moment of immense pride for our state's cricketing fraternity.' 'Congratulations to Vaibhav on this well-deserved selection,' Harsh Vardhan remarked. 'His explosive batting in IPL and other tournaments proves Bihar lads can shine under the brightest lights.' Vaibhav's journey is nothing short of remarkable. He made IPL history as the youngest debutant for Rajasthan Royals in 2025, scoring a hundred on the big stage. This season in 2026, the southpaw has amassed 440 runs from 11 games, featuring a century. Echoing recent successes, Harsh Vardhan recalled praising pacer Sakib Hussain's debut four-wicket haul for Sunrisers Hyderabad. These back-to-back breakthroughs signal a renaissance in Bihar cricket. Officials believe it will motivate thousands of young talents across the state to pick up the bat and ball with renewed vigor. Dubbed the world's next cricket prodigy, Vaibhav's inclusion in India A marks a crucial step toward senior international duties. As the series looms, fans are eager to see if this Bihari boy can continue his dream run.
