U19 World Cup: Ayush Mhatre has been named as India’s captain for the upcoming Men’s Under-19 World Cup, to be held in Zimbabwe and Namibia from January 15 to February 6.

But Mhatre and Vihaan Malhotra, also named in the U19 World Cup squad, will not be a part of the pre-tournament 50-over tour of South Africa, to take place from January 3-7, after sustaining wrist injuries.

In Mhatre’s absence, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will lead the side on the tour of South Africa, where they will play all of their three matches at Willowmoore Park in Benoni, while Yuvraj Gohil and Rahul Kumar are added to the squad selected by the Junior Men’s Selection Committee.
