In a recent announcement, it has been revealed that Samit Dravid, son of former India head coach and captain Rahul Dravid, has been selected to represent India's Under-19 squad for the first time. This exciting news comes just in time for the multi-format home series against Australia Under-19, which is set to take place in September and October.
The India U19 team will be facing off against Australia U19 in a series of matches, including three 50-over games in Puducherry starting on September 21. This will be followed by two four-day games in Chennai, beginning on September 30 and October 7. The 50-over squad will be led by Uttar Pradesh's middle-order batsman Mohamed Amaan, while Madhya Pradesh's Soham Patwardhan will take charge of the team for the four-day matches.
This is not the first time that Dravid has been making waves in the cricket world. He recently made his debut in the senior men's T20 competition, the Maharaja T20 Trophy in Karnataka. As a member of the Mysuru Warriors squad, Dravid showed great promise, scoring 82 runs at a strike rate of 114 in just seven innings. However, he did not get a chance to showcase his medium pace bowling skills. The Mysuru Warriors are now gearing up to face the Hubli Tigers in the semi-finals of the tournament, which will take place on Saturday.
The India U19 squad for the one-day series has also been announced, with a strong lineup consisting of talented players such as Rudra Patel, Sahil Parakh, Kartikeya KP, and Mohd Amaan. The four-day series squad includes players like Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Nitya Pandya, Vihan Malhotra, and Soham Patwardhan, who will be captaining the team. Both squads will also feature the promising young talent of Samit Dravid, who has already proven himself to be a valuable asset to the team.
Other players to watch out for in the one-day series include Kiran Chormale, Abhigyan Kundu, Harvansh Singh Pangalia, and Yudhajit Guha. The four-day series will also feature Chetan Sharma, Samarth N, Aditya Rawat, and Anmoljeet Singh, among others. With such a talented and dedicated team, the India U19 squad is sure to put up a tough fight against Australia U19 in the upcoming series. Let's all cheer on these young players and hope for their success on the field!
