Haryana’s promising batsman Himanshu Rana has been appointed captain of the India Under-19 squad for next month’s two four-day matches against England while compatriot Prithvi Shaw of Mumbai will lead in the subsequent five one-day matches, PTI reported.

The All-India junior selection committee met on Friday to select the teams, a BCCI release stated.

Incidentally, Rahul Dravid, who has been the coach of the junior teams, did not attend the meeting as his contract is yet to be renewed. The former India captain has been accused by Conflict of Interest as he is also in charge of Indian Premier League outfit Delhi Daredevils.
