Vaibhav Suryavanshi Debut: Gautam Gambhir and Shreyas Iyer had a lengthy meeting to discuss when Vaibhav Suryavanshi would get a chance in the T20 series against England.

When will Vaibhav Suryavanshi get a chance?
The five-match T20 series between India and England is scheduled to be played from July 1st to July 11th. The first match was washed out due to rain. The team management is unsure whether to give Vaibhav Suryavanshi a chance in the series against England. The team management has not yet decided whether to give the 15-year-old a chance. It is reported that captain Shreyas Iyer and coach Gautam Gambhir had a lengthy discussion regarding this matter.
Gambhir-Iyer had a long meeting.
Gautam Gambhir and Shreyas Iyer had a lengthy discussion, after which it is believed that Vaibhav Suryavanshi may have to wait a little longer for his debut. Recently, BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla also clarified that the captain and coach will decide when Vaibhav will get his chance.
It is reported that despite a lengthy meeting regarding Vaibhav's debut, Gambhir and Iyer failed to reach a consensus. Gambhir believed that Samson should be given a chance in the next two matches, and that dropping him would create a sense of insecurity among other players. Captain Iyer, meanwhile, stated that Vaibhav's inclusion in the playing eleven would result in all three left-handed batsmen in the top order. This strategy did not work for Team India in the World Cup, leading to the team changing Tilak Varma's batting position to open with Sanju Samson.
When will Vaibhav get a chance?
The team management believes that if the Indian team wins the upcoming matches against England and secures the series, Vaibhav could be given a chance in the final T20I. The final T20I of this series will be played in Southampton on July 11th. It is certain that Vaibhav will open the innings, and the number 3 position has not been kept open for him.
Samson is continuously failing.
Sanju Samson failed in both T20 matches against Ireland. He then failed in the first T20 against England, scoring just 6 runs in three innings so far. Seeing Samson's success, legendary players like Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, and Ravi Shastri have come out in support of Vaibhav, saying he should definitely be given a chance to debut.
On the other hand, batting coach Shitanshu Kotak, assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, captain Shreyas Iyer and bowling coach Morne Morkel have also been repeating the same thing that it is very important for the management to show confidence in its players and when the right opportunity comes, Vaibhav will definitely get a chance to debut.
