  • India announces a 16-member squad for the U19 England tour with Ayush Mhatre as captain following his stellar IPL 2025 performance.

  • Vaibhav Suryavanshi, another IPL breakout star, also finds a place in the squad and will be closely watched during the England tour.

  • The U19 team will play 5 One-Day matches and 2 multi-day games between June 24 and July 23, with top venues across England hosting.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially announced the 16-member India Under-19 cricket squad for the highly anticipated upcoming tour of England. This tour will see the young Indian cricketers take on their English counterparts in a series of five One-Day matches and two multi-day games scheduled between June 24 and July 23, 2025.

The announcement comes amid growing excitement around some standout performers who have shined brightly in the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. Notably, Ayush Mhatre, who had an impressive season with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), has been named the captain of the squad. Mhatre's elevation to captaincy is a recognition of his skill and leadership potential demonstrated both on the IPL stage and domestic cricket.

Ayush Mhatre’s rise has been remarkable, considering he joined CSK as an injury replacement midway through the IPL season. Despite limited appearances, he amassed 206 runs in six matches at an average of 34.33 and an exceptional strike rate of 187.27, including a half-century. His aggressive batting style, including 28 fours and 8 sixes, has made him a formidable presence in the middle order.

Another exciting name in the squad is Vaibhav Suryavanshi, whose performances have also garnered significant attention. Making his debut during the IPL season, Suryavanshi played seven matches and scored 252 runs at an average of 36 with an astonishing strike rate of 206.55. He also holds the record for the fastest century by an Indian in IPL 2025, achieved off just 34 balls, setting multiple batting records in the process.

The squad has a mix of promising talents including Abhigyan Kundu, who has been named vice-captain and is one of the two wicketkeepers selected alongside Harvansh Singh. Other players expected to play key roles in the upcoming tour include Harvansh Singh, Kanishk Chouhan, Aditya Rana, and Anmoljeet Singh. These players bring a balance of youth and skill, promising competitive cricket in varied English conditions.

The detailed squad is as follows:
Ayush Mhatre (Captain), Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Vihaan Malhotra, Maulyarajsinh Chavda, Rahul Kumar, Abhigyan Kundu (Vice-Captain & WK), Harvansh Singh (WK), R S Ambrish, Kanishk Chouhan, Khilan Patel, Henil Patel, Yudhajit Guha, Pranav Raghavendra, Mohammed Enaan, Aditya Rana, Anmoljeet Singh.

Standby players include Naman Pushpak, D Deepesh, Vedant Trivedi, Vikalp Tiwari, and Alankrith Rapole (WK).

The schedule for the tour has also been released:

  • June 24: One-Day Warm-Up at Loughborough University

  • June 27: 1st One Day at Hove

  • June 30: 2nd One Day at Northampton

  • July 2: 3rd One Day at Northampton

  • July 5: 4th One Day at Worcester

  • July 7: 5th One Day at Worcester

  • July 12 to 15: 1st Multi-Day Match at Beckenham

  • July 20 to 23: 2nd Multi-Day Match at Chelmsford

The tour offers a crucial opportunity for these young Indian talents to showcase their skills in foreign conditions, especially in England where pitches and weather can be challenging. The red-ball multi-day matches will test their temperament and technical skills, while the One-Day games will demand aggressive and adaptable batting and bowling.

The BCCI’s selection committee has clearly emphasised a blend of form, talent, and experience in naming the squad, aiming to prepare this young team for future international challenges. Ayush Mhatre’s leadership, combined with Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s explosive batting, promises an exciting Indian side eager to make a mark in England.

As the cricketing fraternity looks forward to the tour, fans will be watching closely to see which of these young stars will emerge as future stalwarts of Indian cricket.
