Ayush Mhatre To Lead India U-19 On Australia Tour
Wicketkeepers Abhigyan Kundu: Ayush Mhatre will captain the Indian Under-19 team on a multi-format tour of Australia starting September 21, as the young side looks to build on its recent success in England. India will play three one-day matches and two four-day games against the Australian U-19 team, in what is expected to be a tough but valuable experience for the next generation of cricketers.
Mhatre, a stylish top-order batter, was one of the standout performers in England, where he finished as the leading run-scorer in the Youth Tests with 340 runs from four innings, including two centuries and a fifty.
Vihaan Malhotra, who impressed in both formats in England, has been named vice-captain. He scored 243 runs in the Youth ODIs and followed it up with 277 in the Tests, showcasing solid temperament and consistency.
