At the age of 14, Vaibhav Suryavanshi created a blast in IPL, but ICC’s rule is stopping for Team India!
Bihar’s 14 -year -old young batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi has won the hearts of cricket lovers by performing a bang in the IPL. He achieved the distinction of becoming an Indian batsman to score the fastest century in IPL history by scoring a stormy century in just 35 balls against Gujarat. His explosive innings has gone viral on social media and everyone from fans to cricket giants is praising him. Many people believe that Vaibhav can be seen playing for Team India in the coming time.
ICC rule becomes obstructing the path of Vaibhav Suryavanshi
However, Vaibhav Suryavanshi may now have to wait to play in international cricket, as the ICC rules stand as a hindrance in their way. In fact, in the year 2020, the International Cricket Council implemented a new age limit policy, according to which it is mandatory for any player to be at least 15 years old to play international cricket. Vaibhav is currently 14 years old and will be 15 years old on 27 March next year. In such a situation, according to the rules, he cannot play for India till then.
Exemption can be found in special circumstances
However, this policy of ICC also includes an exception, which can open doors to Vaibhav Suryavanshi. If a Cricket Board believes that a player under 15 years of age is ready to play mentally, physically and technically international cricket, he can demand special permission from the ICC. In such cases the ICC makes a thorough evaluation of the player’s maturity, fitness and performance. If BCCI takes such a step, Vaibhav can make a debut for India even before 15 years.
Will Sachin’s record be broken?
The record of playing international cricket for India is the name of great batsman Sachin Tendulkar, who made his Test debut at the age of 16 and 205 days. Shortly thereafter, he also made his debut in ODI cricket. Now it will be interesting to see if Vaibhav Suryavanshi can break this record and set a new example in Indian cricket history.
