Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 15, all set to captain Bihar in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy as selectors look for fresh direction

Sakibul Gani led Bihar in the first three Ranji games before Mangal Mahrour took over against Goa, but neither captain could arrest the slide. The BCCI-appointed selection committee, headed by Harvinder Singh, has now turned to Vaibhav, with Suraj Kashyap named his deputy for the domestic T20 tournament.
