New Delhi (India) February 16:India's 14-year-old sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi will not join this year's CBSE Class 10 board examination. The young lad, who has recently impressed everyone with his brilliant batting performance in the U-19 World Cup, has opted not to take the exam as he is preoccupied with training camps and assorted tournaments.
Admit Card Issued, But Exams Off the Table
According to a report, although he has been given his admit card and allotted a centre for examination, Suryavanshi will not be able to sit for the examination, as also confirmed by a source from the Bihar Cricket Association (BCA).
Suryavanshi studies in Modesty School, Tajpur and was scheduled to appear for the examination which will be held from February 17 to March 11. Sources said he had to stay away from home and school due to continuous cricket activity and this had affected his preparations for the board examination.
School Disruptions Due to Packed Cricket Schedule
The director of Modesty School Tajpur, Adarsh Kumar Pintu, further says that Vaibhav's examination form had been filled and the admit card issued. The exam centre was located at Poddar International School.
But after a discussion with Vaibhav's father Sanjeev Suryavanshi, it was concluded he would not be taking the examination this year.
BCCI's U-19 Camps Dominate Schedule
Suryavanshi of late was instrumental in helping India reach the U19 World Cup trophy. High performance camps and activities put on by BCCI have been jam-packed in the young batsman’s schedule and have left him with little time to concentrate on his studies. Sources close to him in the report say his current goal is to secure his spot in competitive cricket and keep contributing to match-winning efforts.
From IPL Debut to U-19 Run Machine
The teenager first reached the nation's forefront with his breakneck performances for Rajasthan Royals as part of IPL 2025. His next competition was at the U-19 Cricket World Cup, where he achieved similar accolades to those of the previous tournaments, when he became the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament.
Suryavanshi in his U-19 ODI cricket matches is India's top run-scorer with 1412 runs in 25 innings.
