India U19 Squad for the U19 Asia Cup 2026
The BCCI Junior Cricket Committee announced India’s 15-member squad on 30 October 2026. Lakshya Raichandani captains the side, with Yashbardhan Singh Chauhan as vice-captain.
India U19 squad: Lakshya Raichandani (C), Aaryavir Sehwag, V.K. Vineeth, Yashbardhan Singh Chauhan (VC), Kushagra Ojha, Arjun Rajput, Manal Chauhan, Anvay Dravid (WK), Rajat Baghel (WK), V. Yashveer, Aryan Savsani, Mohit Ulva, Kavya Patel, Shavin Vinod, Ishan Sood.
Two names have grabbed most of the headlines: Anvay Dravid, son of Rahul Dravid, and Aaryavir Sehwag, son of Virender Sehwag. Both come in on the back of big domestic runs. Aaryavir has scored 173 for Delhi U19 in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy and 297 in the Cooch Behar Trophy, while Anvay has made 151 off 100 balls for Karnataka U19 in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy.
India’s U19 system has a habit of producing headline-makers. For a recent example, read our take on the Vaibhav Sooryavanshi controversy.

India vs Pakistan U19 Asia Cup 2026: The Big One
India U19 vs Pakistan U19 on Sunday, 8 November at Turf 1 is the headline game of the group stage. There’s extra edge this year: Pakistan beat India by 192 runs in the 2025 U19 Asia Cup final in Dubai to win their second title. India, the most successful side in the competition’s history, will be looking to settle that score and likely decide who tops Group A.
