The Junior Committee has named Chennai Super Kings (CSK) breakout star Aysuh Mhatre as captain of the India U-19 team for the upcoming tour of England starting from June. The tour will feature a 50-over warm-up game, followed by an exciting Youth One-Day series by two multi-day matches against England U-19. Apart from Mhatre, Rajasthan Royals (RR) Vaibhaiv Suryavanshi also features in the 16-member squad.
Suryavanshi is coming on back of a scintillating form, as the southpaw has scored 252 runs with a strike rate of 206.56. In an otherwise underwhelming campaign for RR, the 14-year-old has been the lone bright spark with his outrageous batting, and his game changing abilities. The RR opener's blazing century of 35 balls against GT, catapulted him into a social media frenzy.

Meanwhile, speaking about Ayush Mhatre, the CSK star has scored 206 runs, which included a powerful 48-ball 94 against RCB.
Ayush Mhatre and Vaibhav Suryavanshi grab their chances with both hands
For the unversed, neither Mhatre nor Vaibhav Suryavanshi were originally not slated to play in the ongoing IPL 2025 season. Both the young players got their respective chances owing to injuries to Ruturaj Gaikwad and Sanju Samson.
