Former India head coach Rahul Dravid has urged patience with 15-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, stressing the importance of developing his red-ball skills alongside his success in T20 cricket. Dravid believes Sooryavanshi should gain extensive domestic experience before being considered for Test cricket. The youngster is set to represent East Zone in the Duleep Trophy, providing an important opportunity to strengthen his first-class game. Dravid also highlighted the wider challenge facing Test cricket as T20 leagues expand globally, saying players capable of succeeding across formats are increasingly important.
