CRICKET – Teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was named in India’s squad for the T20 series against Afghanistan yesterday after responding to a disappointing debut series in England with two half-centuries against Zimbabwe in July.
Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was also named in the squad, subject to fitness, having been sidelined by a knee injury and missing the Test series in Sri Lanka last month.
All-rounders Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar, along with paceman Harshit Rana, were named pending final fitness clearances.
Shreyas Iyer will continue as captain, with World Cup-winning skipper Suryakumar Yadav again left out of the squad.
