New Delhi: Eyes will be glued on the 15-year-old sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as India take on Ireland for the first of the two T20Is on June 26 in Belfast.

Sooryavanshi has set the stage alight with his jaw-dropping performances in the Indian Premier League and for junior India teams. He scored a marvellous century in the U19 World Cup final against England earlier in the year and had butchered 94 in the recent Tri-Nation A Series final…

New Delhi: Japan and Sweden have both qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2026 knockouts after the two played a 1-1 draw at the Dallas Stadium to end Group F as the second- and third-ranked teams, respectively. Japan were content with the draw as they seemed to sit back in the first half. A draw would mostly have done the same as a win unless they would have beaten the Swedes by a big margin to topple the Netherlands and top the group. The Blue Samurai's vocal supporters kept the atmosphere alive, waving flags and chanting relentlessly among the 70,137 spectators…

Belfast, Northern Ireland: The Indian team management hasn’t quite decided whether to include Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in the playing XI for the first T20I against Ireland. Batting coach Sitanshu Kotak made it clear that the team management will not fast-track the 15-year-old into the playing XI just on the basis of hype.  Notably, the teenage batter has emerged as one of the most exciting young talents in Indian cricket following his exploits in the IPL and for India A, but Kotak said selection decisions would be based on team requirements rather than the anticipation surrounding his potential debut.
