former indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar Questioning India’s decision to withdraw Sanzhou Samson Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who made his international debut in the second T20I against England, said the move was pointless Speaking to X after the game, Manjrekar welcomed the 15-year-old’s debut but wondered why Samson had been left out of the matchday squad.“Good to see Vaibhav in Indian colours. But where is Samson? Dropped? Are you kidding me!” Manjrekar posted.He then added, “No, I guess, (Samson) was injured. We were hoping it was an injury. Or it was the weirdest choice.”Manjrekar also suggested that India could include both players in the starting XI. “If you want Vaibhav in, (Samson) can easily hit 3,” he wrote.
Sooryavanshi, a 15-year-old batsman from Bihar’s Samastipur, on Saturday became India’s youngest international cricketer, breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record of nearly 37 years.However, his debut didn’t go as planned. In Abhishek Sharma’s first innings, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored just 14 runs off 10 balls, hitting two sixes before being dismissed.India posted 190 for seven but England chased down the target with four wickets and one chance to spare to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series after being bowled out in the first match.Jacob Bethell scored an unbeaten 76 off 46 balls, hitting 5 fours and 5 sixes. The left-hander also scored 29 runs from Ravi Bishnoi to complete his half-century and helped England complete their chase in 19 overs.
