The India U19 squad for the Australia tour is all set and full of talented young players. This time, Ayush Mhatre will lead the team once again, and Vaibhav Suryavanshi is one of the most exciting names on the list.
The team will play a total of five matches during this tour. It includes three one-day matches (ODIs) and two test matches. The tour will begin on September 21, 2025, and end on October 10, 2025. These matches will help the players gain valuable experience before future big tournaments like the U19 World Cup.
First of all, Ayush Mhatre has performed well as a captain. He recently took the helm of the India U19 team during their tour of England, leading them to a thrilling 3-2 victory in the ODI series. On top of that, he made quite an impression by scoring 340 runs in the Test matches played there. Because of his strong leadership and batting skills, the selectors have chosen him to lead the team in Australia too.
Next, let’s talk about Vaibhav Suryavanshi. He is just 14 years old, but he has already broken big records. On the England tour, he scored the fastest U19 century in both ODIs and Tests. Because of this, he is one of the top players to watch on this tour.
