Story summary
  • International Cricket Council (ICC) and England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) rules bar under-16s from rooms, so 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi must change in a facility.
  • Separate rooms will be set up at venues—Durham, Manchester, Nottingham, Bristol and Southampton.
  • ECB’s Safe Hands policy and ICC safeguarding procedures apply on tour.
  • If he debuts Friday, Sooryavanshi will become India’s youngest player 15 years and 91 days, beating Sachin Tendulkar’s 16-year-205-day record.
