India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said 15-year-old batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is ready for international cricket but must follow the team’s selection process. His omission from the Ireland T20 series drew attention after India’s 0-2 loss. Despite IPL success, he remains out for now, with a possible debut in the upcoming England T20 series.

Belfast: India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has declared Vaibhav Sooryavanshi ready for international cricket but also made it clear that the 15-year-old batting sensation will have to go through the same process that other players in the side have followed before being handed their debut.

Sooryavanshi's omission from the T20 series against Ireland has become a major talking point after the T20 world champion Indian team ended up being whitewashed 0-2, the second loss being by just one run here on Sunday.

"He (Sooryavanshi) is absolutely ready to play international cricket, there is no doubt about that but also Sanju Samson is a guy who went a long way to win us the World Cup three months ago," Ten Doeschate said when the inevitable query on Sooryavanshi came up during the post-match press conference.

"He has got a fairly good IPL, and it is important to give players confidence and message to the players, we want to give guys a long run in the team.
