Vaibhav Suryavanshi has had a remarkable summer in 2025. Following his eye-catching IPL debut and outstanding form during India’s U-19 England tour, the 14-year-old was called up by the BCCI for an exclusive training camp at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru on August 10. This initiative reflects the BCCI’s commitment to building the next generation of cricket stars.
BCCI’s Tailored Training to Groom Future International Players
A MyKhel report states that Vaibhav’s training will include targeted technical drills and realistic match scenarios. Manish Ojha, his childhood coach, shed light on the bigger vision behind this training:
“BCCI is looking ahead. The senior players are gradually retiring, and to fill that vacuum, the next batch of youngsters must be fully ready. This training for Vaibhav is part of that process. We pick boys one by one and prepare them accordingly for the demands of international cricket.”
Improving Consistency in Longer Formats is the Next Step
Vaibhav’s stint at the NCA will last about a week, after which he will rejoin the India U-19 squad for upcoming tours. Ojha emphasized that while Vaibhav excels in limited-overs formats, consistency in longer formats remains a key target.
“He has the ability to attack from the very first ball, which is a huge positive in T20s and one-dayers. You’ve seen it in the IPL, U-19, and Vijay Hazare Trophy. But in longer formats, his performance level drops compared to white-ball cricket. The aim is to raise that consistency—if he plays 10 innings, 7-8 should be impactful.”
Senior Indian Players’ Future in Focus Amid Youth Development Plans
This training development comes amid rumors about the international futures of veterans Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. A Dainik Jagran report suggested the upcoming Australia tour might be their final outing, with their ODI careers and World Cup prospects hinging on their domestic form. However, a BCCI official told PTI that the board’s focus is currently on the Asia Cup and 2026 T20 World Cup preparations, stressing that no hasty decisions will be made.
