Samit Dravid selected for India Under-19 squad for Australia series

Allrounder Samit Dravid has been named in India’s Under-19 squad for the first time, for the mixed-format home series against Australia Under-19 in September and October.
Mohamed Amaan, a middle-order batsman from Uttar Pradesh, has been named as the captain of the 50-over team, while Soham Patwardhan of Madhya Pradesh will lead the team in the four-day matches.
Batting in the middle order, Dravid scored 82 runs at a strike rate of 114 in seven innings but was not called upon to bowl his medium pace. On the day the junior selectors announced the Indian Under-19 squad, Mysuru Warriors were scheduled to play in the semi-finals of the tournament.

Earlier this year, Dravid, 18, played a major role in Karnataka winning the Cooch Behar Trophy, a four-day tournament for under-19 cricketers. He scored 362 runs and took 16 wickets in eight matches, including two scalps in the final against Mumbai.

India Under-19 will play three 50-over matches against Australia Under-19 in Puducherry on September 21, 23 and 26, followed by two four-day matches in Chennai starting on September 30 and October 7.
