Brett Lee dismisses debate over Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's age

Brett Lee has said the debate over whether Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is 15 or older misses the point about the teenager's ability. The former Australia fast bowler said the focus should remain on what the batter has already achieved rather than his age.

Sooryavanshi scored 776 runs in 16 IPL matches for Rajasthan Royals and was named Player of the Series during India's T20I tour of Zimbabwe. Lee praised the left-hander's power and shot selection against express pace in the IPL.

Lee said the biggest challenge for Sooryavanshi will be handling the attention and expectations that come with rapid success rather than maintaining form or improving his batting.
