\u201cThis is an ICC event, with their safeguarding procedures active as they have jurisdiction,\u201d the ECB said in a statement provided to The Guardian.<\/p>\n
\u201cA safeguarding concern occurring during the event may (in some circumstances) be managed by the ICC. In addition to this, the ECB Safe Hands policy applies at all times.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Cricket Regulator is in contact with the team liaison officer for the Indian team to discuss requirements and expectations for the player while he is in the UK.<\/p>\n
\u201cEach county safeguarding officer for the relevant cricket venue is also working closely with the team liaison officer to ensure venue protocols and arrangements (specifically changing room environments) are understood and adhered to. This is conducted via safeguarding risk assessments.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is our understanding that the player\u2019s parents will be travelling with him at all times. They are staying in the same hotel, which is outside of usual protocol, but agreed on this occasion due to his age.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis additional measure provides us with further confidence that he has family members that can provide the additional level of support and care.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arsenal\u2019s Max Dowman similarly needed a separate changing room from his teammates during last season\u2019s Premier League, until he turned 16 in December. <\/p>\n
Sooryavanshi donned his official India jersey for the first time on Tuesday, with the BCCI releasing a video of the moment when the blue kit was delivered to him, calling it \u201cthe moment the nation has been waiting for\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cEver since I first held a bat and walked onto a cricket field to practise, I dreamed of this moment \u2026 I cannot explain this feeling in words,\u201d Sooryavanshi said in the BCCI video.<\/p>\n
He was shown unpacking the shirt, with his name on the back above the number 03.<\/p>\n
Sooryavanshi is line to become India\u2019s youngest international player, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar, the batting great who made his Test debut aged 16 years and 205 days in 1989.<\/p>\n
The spotlight has been on Sooryavanshi since his batting exploits in the IPL, where he amassed 776 runs for Rajasthan Royals to finish as the tournament\u2019s leading run scorer.<\/p>\n
He struck one century and five half-centuries during the season to pick up the Orange Cap for the leading run-getter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Teen cricket sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will reportedly be required to use his own changeroom during India\u2019s white-ball tour…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":758917,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-758916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/758916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=758916"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/758916\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/758917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=758916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=758916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=758916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
