Delhi’s Jonty Sidhu To Lead India Under 19 In Youth Test Matches Against England

Delhi’s Jonty Sidhu will be leading the 15-member squad in the two youth Test matches against England Under 19. Sidhu, a Delhi batsman, scored a total of 268 runs in the Cooch Behar Trophy 2016/17, presenting his case for the India Under 19 side.

Kanishk Seth, who have earlier played for India under 19 in the year 2015 has made a comeback to the side after a period of two years.

Ironically, Abhishek Sharma, the skipper of India under 19 team in ODI series is not a part of the squad. Prthiwi Shaw’s exclusion from the Test squad also came as a surprise.

The 19-year-old youngster made his Ranji Trophy debut for Mumbai this year and played an innings 120 in the second innings of the semi-final against Tamil Nadu to lead the team to a win. Himanshu Rana’s exclusion from the side also comes as a surprise. The selectors have picked up a totally different side from the one selected for the ODIs.

Both the Test matches will be played at VCA stadium in Nagpur from January 13 and 21 respectively.

India U-19 squad: Abhishek Goswami (UP), Rohan Kunnummal (Ker), Saurabh Singh (Ben), Ravi Inder Thakur (HP), Utkarsh Singh (Jhar), Jonty Sidhu (Captain, Delhi), Daryl Ferrario (Ker), Siddharth Akre (Mum), Lokeshwar (TN), Mayank Markande (Punjab), Sijomon Joseph (Ker), Harsh Tyagi (Delhi), Rishabh Bhagat (Punjab), Kanishk Seth (Ben), Vineet Panwar (UP).
