Mumbai, Aug 31
Allrounder Samit Dravid, son of former India head coach and captain Rahul Dravid, has been named in India's Under-19 squad for the first time, for the multi-format home series against Australia Under-19 in September and October.
India U19 will face Australia U19 in three 50-over matches in Puducherry on September 21, 23, and 26, followed by two four-day games in Chennai beginning on September 30 and October 7.
Uttar Pradesh middle-order Mohamed Amaan has been named captain of the 50-over squad, while Madhya Pradesh's Soham Patwardhan will lead the team for the four-day matches.
Dravid recently participated in his first senior men's T20 competition, the Maharaja T20 Trophy in Karnataka, as a member of the Mysuru Warriors squad. Batting in the middle order, Dravid scored 82 runs at a strike rate of 114 across seven innings, though he wasn't called upon to bowl his medium pace. Mysuru Warriors are set to face Hubli Tigers in the tournament's semi-final on Saturday.
