Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Under Review After On‑field Clash With Sri Lankan Player

Fifteen‑year‑old Indian cricketer Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was involved in a heated on‑field altercation with Sri Lankan all‑rounder Vishen Halambage during an India A versus Sri Lanka A match in Dambulla. The incident prompted Sri Lanka Cricket to fine Halambage, while the match referee, Pradeep Jeyapragash, imposed a disciplinary penalty based on umpire reports. The Board of Control for Cricket in India is considering a possible suspension for Sooryavanshi, though no formal decision has been announced. Sooryavanshi, the youngest ever MVP of the IPL 2026, is scheduled to play the next game against Afghanistan A. Both cricket boards have yet to release official statements on the matter.
