Mumbai, June 6 -- BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar said teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's performances left the selectors with little choice but to include him in India's squad for the T20I series against England and Ireland and the Asian Games.

Sooryavanshi, who was named in the Indian cricket squad, became the youngest-ever player to be picked for the national side, breaking a 36-year-old record held by legendary Sachin Tendulkar.

Tendulkar had made his India debut against Pakistan in 1989 at the age of 16, setting a record that stood for a very long time.

Speaking during the squad announcement, Agarkar said Sooryavanshi had effectively earned his place through his performances despite being at an early stage of his career.
