Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has been named in a 15-member India 'A' squad for the one-day tri-series in Sri Lanka, scheduled for June 2026. The squad, facing Sri Lanka and Afghanistan 'A' sides, will be led by Tilak Varma with Riyan Parag as deputy.

The tri-series starts June 9 with India A vs Sri Lanka A, featuring a double round-robin before the final on June 21. India A will also play two multi-day matches against Sri Lanka A; the red-ball squad will be announced later. White-ball matches are in Dambulla, red-ball in Galle.
