After the ceremony, Suryavanshi will join the Indian Under-19 team and travel to Zimbabwe. The team is preparing for the next World Cup, which begins on January 15.
“Vaibhav will not play today’s match as he is in Delhi to attend the Prime Minister’s National Children’s Award ceremony. He will be honored at the ceremony. He was expected to report at 7 am for the ceremony,” Ojha confirmed to Hindustan Times.
Ojha added: “He will miss the rest of the Vijay Hazare Trophy as he has to sync up for the U19 World Cup and will therefore join the rest of the Indian team for the preparatory matches.”
Suryavanshi’s record
Earlier this week, Suryavanshi scored 190 runs off 84 balls against Arunachal Pradesh. He hit 16 fours and 15 sixes. Powered by his explosive knock, Bihar posted a world record score of 574/6 in 50 overs.
The left-handed batter completed his hundred off just 36 balls. With this milestone, Suryavanshi also became the youngest centurion in the history of List A cricket.
