The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially announced the India U19 squad for the upcoming tour of England, featuring a two-format series comprising Youth Tests and One-Day Internationals. Among the notable selections are Ayush Mhatre and Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who have earned call-ups based on their recent performances in the domestic circuit and in the IPL 2025.
The tour is set to provide valuable international exposure for the young talents as they prepare for future global competitions, including the ICC U19 World Cup next year. The selectors have opted for a balanced mix of promising batters, versatile all-rounders, and potent bowlers to ensure competitive depth across both red and white-ball formats.
Ayush Mhatre, a technically sound top-order batsman, has been in the spotlight for his consistent performances in the U19 Challenger Trophy, while Vaibhav Suryavanshi has impressed with his big hits and control with the bat, making a strong case for inclusion in the longer format. Both players are expected to play pivotal roles during the English summer, where conditions will test their adaptability and temperament.
