The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced India Under-19 squad for the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka. Yashbardhan Singh Chauhan has been named as the captain of both, the India U19 One-Day and four-day sides.
Anvay Dravid, younger son of former India captain and all-time great Rahul Dravid, was named in the One-Day squad as one of the two specialist wicketkeepers in the team.
Notably, the BCCI junior cricket committee has selected a brand-new squad, with not a single player from India’s 2026 U19 World Cup-winning campaign making a cut for the tour.

Apart from the captain and vice-captain, players like Sagar Virk, Kushagra Ojha, Rohit Anil Yadav and Kavya Paresh Patel were also named in both, the One-Day and Multi-Day squads for the Sri Lanka tour, highlighting the selectors' faith in their all-round abilities and consistency across formats.
Son of Rahul Dravid returns to India Under-19 setup
Anvay Dravid, teenage son of Rahul Dravid, was named in India Under-19’s One-Day squad for the tour of Sri Lanka. The 17-year-old is one of the two specialist wicketkeeper-batters named in the team alongside Rajat Baghel.
Dravid previously played Under-19 cricket for India way back in November 2025 last year, albeit for India B U19 team. He was part of the India B side during the U19 One-Day Tri-series at home, where India A U19 and Afghanistan U19 served as the other two teams of the series.
In his lone match, Anvay Dravid was dismissed for a first-ball duck by Afghanistan’s Nazifullah Amiri at the CoE 1 in Bengaluru. Here is a look at the entire India U19 squads for the upcoming multi-format tour of Sri Lanka.
