Vaibhav Sooryavanshi named East Zone vice-captain

East Zone selectors handed Vaibhav Sooryavanshi the vice-captaincy for the Duleep Trophy. The 15-year-old's appointment came after the panel sat down together and settled on it as a group call.

He'll bat and learn the ropes under the captain. Easwaran and the other senior names stayed out of the deputy's spot. Sooryavanshi had just topped India's run charts in the Zimbabwe T20Is — three games, and he left with the most runs. East Zone open their campaign later this month in Bengaluru.
