The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the India Under-19 ‘A’ and ‘B’ squads for the upcoming tri-series that will also feature Afghanistan. The tournament will take place from November 17 to 30 at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.

The tri-series will see India A, India B, and Afghanistan U19 compete in a double round-robin format, with the top two teams meeting in the final on November 30. Each team will play two games against the others. Meanwhile, star players Ayush Mhatre and VaibhavSuryavanshi have not been picked.

According to the BCCI, Mhatre was not considered for selection as he is currently featuring in the Ranji Trophy for Maharashtra, while Suryavanshi has been named in the India A squad for the upcoming ACC Rising Stars Asia Cup. Both players, therefore, were unavailable for the Bengaluru series.

Punjab’s Vihaan Malhotra, who impressed earlier this year with 277 runs against England U19 across two Youth Tests, will lead India U19 A. Abhigyan Kundu has been appointed vice-captain and wicketkeeper. The squad also includes names like Wafi Kachchhi, Anmoljeet Singh, and Henil Patel.

Hyderabad’s Aaron George will captain India U19 B, with Gujarat’s Vedant Trivedi serving as his deputy. The team features Rahul Dravid’s son, Anvay Dravid, as one of the wicketkeepers, alongside players such as Yuvraj Gohil and Maulyarajsinh Chavda.
