Former India spinner L Sivaramakrishnan believes 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi should continue playing regularly instead of being rested, saying consistent playing time will help the youngster learn, make mistakes and gain experience in different conditions.Sooryavanshi became India’s youngest international cricketer when he made his debut in the second T20I against England in Manchester on Saturday at the age of 15 years and 99 days.Sivaramakrishnan, who himself made his Test debut as a 17-year-old against the West Indies in 1983, said India should continue to support the teenager after being given his first opportunity.“He should be given a fair amount of chances with white-ball cricket and see how he performs. It should continue. I mean, there’s no point in bleeding a young man and giving him a break or a rest. He doesn’t need rest. He can continue to play well throughout the year,” Sivaramakrishnan was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.“Especially as he bats, he does not need a bowler’s fitness. And batting for long periods of time will also give him that concentration, the mind work that he can do for long periods of time”, he added.Sooryavanshi scored 14 off 10 balls, including two sixes, on his debut. Sivaramakrishnan said he should not change the team’s approach towards him.“Once you decide to play him, you have to give him ample opportunities. Remember, he is an investment for the next 20 years. I think what Vaibhav needs now is a lot of support from the coach (Gautam Gambhir) and the captain (Shreyas Iyer) and the rest of the players. Even if he doesn’t do well in a few games, he should be supported. It has to be continued.”According to Sivaramakrishnan, Sooryavanshi’s attacking style will naturally lead to some failures, but that should not stop him from playing his game.“I want to see him guided and supported well. He’s the type of player to hit, there might be a few risks he takes. But modern day cricket is all about risks. So, he shouldn’t be told to curb his natural instincts and how he approaches the game.”
