The Junior Cricket Committee of BCCI on Saturday named the India Under-19 squads for the three-match ODI series against South Africa Under-19, and the following World Cup that is set to take place in Zimbabwe and Namibia from January 15 to February 6 next year. For the series against South Africa, Vaibhav Suryavanshi has been named captain, with Aaron George being his deputy. It is worth noting that 14-year-old Suryavanshi has been given the big charge as regular skipper Ayush Mhatre misses out on the series due to a wrist injury. Vihaan Malhotra, who is the vice-captain for India in the U-19 World Cup, is also out of the three-match series due to a similar injury.

"Ayush Mhatre and Vihaan Malhotra have sustained wrist injuries and will miss the South Africa tour. The duo will report to the BCCI Centre of Excellence for further management of their injuries and will join the team for the ICC Men's Under-19 World Cup," informed BCCI in a release.

Rising Indian batting star Suryavanshi was felicitated with the 'Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar' by the President Droupadi Murmu on Friday for his scintillating batting performances for Team India in age-group cricket and for Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), which has seen him break plenty of records.

The 14-year-old left-handed batter has become the talk of the entire nation with his batting exploits, with many comparing his rise to Indian cricketing icon Sachin Tendulkar, who also started as a teen prodigy from Mumbai.

Suryavanshi, 14, who made history last year by becoming the youngest player to earn an IPL contract after being bought by Rajasthan Royals for Rs 1.1 crore, has achieved plenty of milestones in a career that has taken off over the last year or so.

Sarfaraz "Not Even Being Allowed To Fail": Questions Raised On Selectors

-
https://ift.tt/gjQfS59 Sarfaraz Khan 's long absence from the Indian Test team has raised quite a few eyebrows. Several former players feel that the Mumbai batter, who has not played a Test since November 2024, deserves a chance in the squad. Former India player Aakash Chopra believes Sarfaraz has fallen victim to a perception battle. The 28-year-old has so far played six Tests, scoring 371 runs at an average of 37.10. He has three fifties and one century to his name. "I think there is a clarity issue in the case of Sarfaraz. I think it is a case of perception and understanding. I am trying to think-they might have a perception that he may not do as well in swinging conditions or play fast bowling well. Maybe he is not our guy in SENA countries. So he did not get the chance. But even to make that perception, I have to allow him to fail. He is not even being allowed to fail. And now there is no place in the team as well," Chopra said on Shubhankar Mishra's YouTube ch...
