Youth test

U19 Asia Cup: Mohammad Amaan has been named as India’s captain for the upcoming 50-over Men’s U19 Asia Cup, to be held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from November 29 to December 8. Amaan had previously captained India in the youth ODIs against Australia at Puducherry in September.

The 13-year-old batting prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who scored 104 off 62 balls in the Youth Test against Australia in Chennai, and set a new record for being the youngest player to score an international century, finds a place in the squad.

Batting all-rounder Kiran Chormale will be the vice-captain, while Harvansh Singh Pangalia, who made 117 in the second youth Test against Australia, is the designated wicketkeeper alongside Anurag Kawde. Mohammad Enaan, who was India’s leading wicket-taker in youth Tests and ODIs against Australia, too finds a place.
