The Board of Control for Cricket in India has unveiled the U19 squad for the upcoming ACC Men's Asia Cup. Notably, 14-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi has earned a spot in the team, which will be captained by Ayush Mhatre. The continental championship is slated to be held in Dubai, commencing on December 12 and concluding on December 21.
Suryavanshi's recent performance in the Men's Emerging Asia Cup was extraordinary, where he amassed 239 runs across four matches. He achieved a remarkable strike rate of 243.88, including a blistering 144 off 42 balls against the UAE, smashing 22 sixes. However, the upcoming Asia Cup will be contested in the 50-over format, demanding greater temperament and endurance.
India has been placed in a competitive group alongside Pakistan and two other qualifiers. The tournament promises thrilling encounters as these young talents showcase their skills on an international stage. Kishan Kumar Singh's availability is contingent on fitness clearance.
