Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Won't Share India's Changing Room with Teammates; to Have Separate Facilities During England Tour: Report
ECB and BCCI are arranging venue protocols and hotel stays for the 15-year-old, whose parents will travel with him on the tour.
- Fifteen-Year-Old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi must use a separate changing room during India's tour of England, The Guardian reports, as the International Cricket Council mandated the facility to align with safeguarding procedures.
- Providing separate changing rooms for players under 16 is standard practice in English sport; Arsenal's Max Dowman previously used separate facilities until turning 16, a protocol now applied to Sooryavanshi.
- Sooryavanshi's parents will accompany him throughout the tour, staying in the same hotel—an exception The ECB agreed to, noting family presence provides further confidence in the care provided.
- The ECB is coordinating with the Board of Control for Cricket in India to ensure compliance, with Each County Safeguarding Officer working alongside the Team Liaison Officer to finalize protocols.
- Sooryavanshi could make history on Friday by becoming India's youngest international cricketer, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar's record of 16 years and 205 days, before the five-match T20 series begins in Durham next Wednesday.
