A Royal Colts team will be built around the selected young faces.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;At the Rajasthan Royals, we are passionate about developing talent. Since the start of the IPL, we have invested in youth and subsequently launched many players onto the international stage,&quot; said franchise&#39;s head of cricket Zubin Bharucha.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The target is to attract both local talent in Rajasthan as well as players in the age group of 16-19 from across the country.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The panel of scouts, headed by Zubin Bharucha, includes Royals coaches Amol Mazumdar and Sairaj Bahutule along with couple of local selectors who will shortlist aspiring players from a pool of registered candidates.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The final Royal Colts team consisting of 16 players will then be announced. The trials will be held at the Neerja Modi School here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The idea is to find fresh young talent and make a team which would compete under the banner of Royal Colts. The team will play in various reputed tournaments and competitions across the country and abroad,&quot; said Vice President, Rajasthan Royals, Rajeev Khanna.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The selected team will then be trained and get to compete with junior teams in India and from around the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The candidates can register themselves via online registrations exclusively on RoyalColtsTrials starting today until Oct 9.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Registered candidates will then be informed via sms and email the date, time, location and other details regarding trials.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The first edition of the event will have 2,000 registrations from candidates in the age group of 16-19 and candidates from any part of India can apply for the trials.<\/p>\r\n",
