3 Teenage batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has earned his maiden call-up to the senior side getting a senior India call-up.

The 15-year-old wonder kid, who is the fastest Indian centurion in the IPL, has been named in the Tilak Varma-led India A squad which will tour Sri Lanka in June.

Sooryavanshi is currently playing in the IPL 2026 for Rajasthan Royals. India A is generally considered the stepping stone to a senior India call-up. Before this, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was part of the India A team that played in the 2025 Asia Cup Rising Stars.

The tri-series will feature hosts Sri Lanka A, India A and Afghanistan A. Following the limited-overs tri-series, India A will also play two multi-day matches against Sri Lanka A, with the squad for the red-ball fixtures to be announced at a later date,” the BCCI said in a statement.

“The white-ball series will be played in Dambulla, while the multi-day matches will take place in Galle.”
