India A vs Sri Lanka A, Tri-Series Live Streaming: Where to watch Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in action?
All eyes will be on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi when India A begin their 50-over tri-Series campaign against Sri Lanka A in Dambulla on Tuesday. The 15-year-old batting sensation returns to action after a record-breaking IPL 2026 season and will be one of the biggest attractions in the tournament featuring India A, Sri Lanka A and Afghanistan A.
It tells you something about the burning aura of Sooryavanshi, who is outshining everyone in terms of hype. Not to forget his team also features the likes of Tilak Varma, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Riyan Parag, who all have played for India. But Sooryavanshi can soon break Sachin Tendulkar’s record to become the youngest-ever debutant for the nation.
Sooryavanshi’s rise has been nothing short of extraordinary. After dominating IPL 2026 and earning a maiden India call-up for the upcoming Ireland tour, the teenager now gets another opportunity to showcase his talent in the 50-over format. While his fearless strokeplay has become his trademark, the tri-series will test his ability to adapt to Sri Lankan conditions, where spin is expected to play a major role.

Jamaica Empress join expanded WCPL as tournament grows to four teams for 2026 season
Kingston [Jamaica], June 9 (ANI): The Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) will feature four teams for the first time in its history after the addition of Jamaica Empress for the 2026 edition.
According to ESPNcricinfo, Jamaica Empress will join the three existing franchises — Barbados Royals, Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders — in the fifth season of the competition, which will be held entirely in Barbados from September 5 to 17.
The expansion marks a significant milestone for the women’s T20 tournament, which has operated with three teams since its inaugural edition in 2022. Under the new format, each team will play the other three sides once in the league stage.
The team finishing at the top of the standings will secure a direct berth in the final, while the second and third-placed teams will meet in a playoff on September 16 for the remaining spot in the title clash scheduled for September 17.
Defending champions Barbados Royals will enter the tournament aiming for a fourth consecutive title after lifting the trophy in 2023, 2024 and 2025. Trinbago Knight Riders remain the only other team to have won the competition, having claimed the inaugural crown in 2022.
Tournament organisers also indicated that the latest expansion could be the first step towards a broader international footprint. In a statement, the WCPL said plans are already being explored to invite teams from outside the Caribbean from 2027 onwards, with the long-term objective of transforming the competition into a global women’s franchise tournament.
“Looking ahead to 2027, the WCPL is preparing to take the next step in its evolution, with plans to welcome teams from outside the Caribbean and establish the tournament as a truly global competition," the statement read.
The 2026 season will begin on September 5 with Barbados Royals taking on Trinbago Knight Riders, while newcomers Jamaica Empress will make their tournament debut against Guyana Amazon Warriors on September 6.
WCPL 2026 Fixtures:
September 5 – Barbados Royals vs Trinbago Knight Riders

Suthar, Sundar`s exceptional skills help Team India defeat Afghanistan
If Manav Suthar don’t get you, Washington Sundar will. That was the stark reality which stared Afghanistan in the face as they keeled over without a fight, handing India a record innings-and-300-run victory on the middle day of the one-off Test on Monday.
Exactly what Afghanistan gained from this insipid all-round display is hard to fathom. True, they came into this game with only 12 matches in their eight years as a Test entity, but that can’t be used as an excuse for horrendous shot selection across the two innings. If it was debutant left-arm spinner Suthar who feasted on their largesse in the first knock with a terrific spell of 6-33 that fetched him the Player of the Match award, then off-spinner Sundar was the recipient of their generosity in the second, finishing with 4-36.
Afghanistan lost 14 wickets in a mere 54.4 overs on the third day, shot out for 152 in the first dig and an even more disappointing 112 on the second on a surface that held few terrors. When they resumed on 113-5 in response to India’s 564-8 declared, the big points of interest were how long they would keep the hosts on the field, and whether Shubman Gill would enforce the follow on.
As it turned out, with Suthar continuing to spin a fine web, they lost their last five wickets for just 39 runs, 25 minutes before lunch, and the Indian captain decided an early finish was the need of the hour with his spin-heavy attack having bowled only 58.4 overs.
6-33
Manav Suthar’s figures against Afghanistan on Monday — the second-best by an Indian in a Test debut innings after Narendra Hirwani’s 8-61 vs WI in 1988
Brief scores
India 564-8d beat Afghanistan 152 all out (R Shah 60; M Suthar 6-33, P Krishna 3-37) & 112 all out (S Atal 42; W Sundar 4-36, K Yadav 3-30) by an innings and 300 runs
