India U19 vs England U19 1st Youth Test: Live Streaming Details and Squads
India’s under-19 cricket team, fresh off a dominant performance in the ODI series, begins its campaign in the attritional red-ball format with the first Youth Test against England today. The match, starting July 12th, will see the Indian squad transition from limited-overs brilliance to the strategic demands of Test cricket.
The spotlight will undoubtedly fall on Vaibhav Suryavanshi, India U19’s explosive opening batsman. Suryavanshi recently shattered records with a blistering 52-ball century and other impactful innings during the ODI series. He will be looking to translate that form to the longer format, building on a First-Class century scored last year against Australia U19. Remarkably, at just 13 years old, Suryavanshi became the youngest international centurion, a feat that sent shockwaves through the cricketing world and has put the England bowlers on high alert.
Team Lineups
Here are the squads for both teams:
England U19 Squad: Hamza Shaikh, Ben Mayes, Jaydn Denly, Aaryan Sawant, Thomas Rew (w/c), Rocky Flintoff, Archie Vaughan, James Minto, Sebastian Morgan, Tazeem Ali, Alex Green, Jack Home, AM French, Jay Singh.
India U19 Squad: Ayush Mhatre (C), Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Vihaan Malhotra, Rahul Kumar, Harvansh Pangalia (W), Kanishk Chouhan, Rs. Pushpak, Anmoljeet Singh, Henil Patel, Abhiyan Kundu, Mohamed Enaan, Pranav Ragawendra, Maulyarajsinh Chavd.
