Young Lions Invitational XI: Archie Vaughan, the 18-year-old son of former England captain Michael Vaughan, is set to make his Under-19 Test debut against Sri Lanka next week. Named in a 14-man squad, Archie is part of a team England U-19 squad which includes Rocky Flintoff, son of Andrew Flintoff, Farhan Ahmed, and Jaydn Denly.

Archie Vaughan, a promising top-order batter and offspinner, recently signed his first professional contract with Somerset, where he has been honing his skills since 2020 as part of the county's academy set-up.

Although he has yet to make his first-team debut for Somerset, Vaughan made an impression at the age-group level with an innings of 85 from 83 balls for a Young Lions Invitational XI in a warm-up match against the England U19 ODI squad. In that same match, Rocky Flintoff top-scored with 106, showcasing the talent running in the family.
