South Africa U19 ODI: All-rounder Archie Vaughan will captain England men’s U19 team on its upcoming tour of South Africa. Archie, who is the son of former England captain Michael Vaughan, will lead an 18-man squad across three 50-over and two red-ball games happening from January 14 to February 6.

Archie took 15 wickets and scored 236 runs in just four County Championship matches for Somerset in the last season. "I found out that I was going to be captain during the training camp before Christmas and it was a very special moment. To get the opportunity to represent England at this level is really special in itself, but to lead the team out is something else," said Archie in a statement issued by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).

"It will obviously be a good challenge and we'll have to adapt to the conditions. The training camp that we had over there before Christmas was really beneficial and we're all ready and raring to go.”
