Anvay Dravid Named in India U-19 Squad for Sri Lanka Tour
Anvay Dravid, son of former India captain and head coach Rahul Dravid, has been selected as a wicketkeeper in India's Under-19 squad for an upcoming tour of Sri Lanka beginning July 4. The selection includes three one-day matches and two multi-day games, with Anvay named alongside Rajat Baghel for the ODI squad. This marks the second Dravid family member selected to India's junior setup in 2024, following his elder brother Samit's earlier selection.
Anvay Dravid has been selected as one of two wicketkeepers in India's Under-19one-day squad for the Sri Lanka tour, announced by the BCCI's Junior Cricket Committee on Thursday. The Karnataka-based youngster, who has impressed in age-group cricket including a strong performance in last year's Vinoo Mankad Trophy where he scored 220 runs in six matches, will join a squad led by captain Yashbardhan Singh Chauhan and vice-captain Lakshya Raichandani. The tour comprises three ODIs and two multi-day matches starting July 4, with separate squads named for each format. Anvay's selection continues the growing presence of the Dravid family in India's junior cricket setup, following his elder brother Samit's selection to the U-19 squad earlier in 2024 for bilateral matches against Australia. The tour provides emerging Indian talents an opportunity to gain international junior-level experience.
