Overview
- BCCI officials held a high‑level review on Thursday and agreed to place Sooryavanshi in a targeted monitoring group at the Centre of Excellence with direct oversight from VVS Laxman and other senior staff.
- The board said it will make selection and match‑by‑match exposure decisions for the 15‑year‑old to protect his physical and mental development while building a long career rather than chasing short‑term gains.
- Sooryavanshi’s recent form — a record 776 runs and 72 sixes in IPL 2026, Player of the Tournament at the U‑19 World Cup, a Player of the Series display against Zimbabwe and a Duleep Trophy half‑century — underpins the accelerated management plan.
- His place in the Duleep Trophy final will be decided by India head coach Gautam Gambhir, and the board has reported him as part of India’s upcoming T20I and Asian Games squads subject to management approval.
- BCCI warned it will monitor conduct and workload after reported on‑field altercations, and said about 10–15 emerging players are in the same CoE cohort to receive technical coaching and welfare support.
