WV Raman: U-19 Cricket 'Detrimental' to Vaibhav Suryavanshi's Growth

  • Former India coach WV Raman believes playing 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi at the U19 level could harm his development.
  • Suryavanshi has already made his IPL debut for Rajasthan Royals and played for India-A in the Rising Stars Asia Cup.
  • Raman emphasized considering the 'big picture' for Suryavanshi, who has excelled in higher-level cricket.
  • Suryavanshi had a poor start in the U19 World Cup against USA, scoring just two runs, despite a strong warm-up performance.
  • India defeated USA by six wickets via DLS method in their U19 World Cup opener in Bulawayo.

Why It Matters: WV Raman argues U-19 cricket may hinder Vaibhav Suryavanshi's growth given his IPL and India-A experience.
