Gwalior's Yashbardhan Chauhan to lead India U-19 on Sri Lanka tour
Gwalior's Yashvardhan Singh Chauhan will lead India Under-19 on the Sri Lanka tour. His appointment, along with Manal Chauhan's selection, has lifted Chambal cricket and underlined the region's growing pipeline.
Gwalior has a major reason to celebrate as local youngster Yashvardhan Singh Chauhan has been named captain of the Indian Under-19 cricket team for the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka. Chauhan will lead both the ODI and multi-day squads, marking a significant milestone in his emerging cricketing career and further highlighting the growing talent pool from central India.
Yashvardhan, a student of The Scindia School, is widely regarded for his composed batting style and natural leadership abilities. His rise through the ranks has been closely followed at the domestic level, and his elevation to captaincy is being seen as a reward for consistent performances and maturity beyond his years. His appointment has sparked widespread excitement among cricket fans, coaches, and supporters in Gwalior and surrounding areas.
Lakshya Raichandani has been appointed as his deputy after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the squads for both formats of the tour. Adding to the pride of the Chambal region, Manal Chauhan has also been included in the India Under-19 squad, underlining a strong representation from the region in the youth setup.
The India U-19 team’s preparatory training camp will begin on June 23, ahead of their departure for Sri Lanka on June 30. The tour will feature a competitive schedule comprising three one-day internationals and two multi-day matches. The first ODI is set to be played on July 4 in Hambantota, where the young Indian side will begin their overseas campaign.
The selections have been warmly welcomed across the region, with coaches, officials, and cricket enthusiasts extending their congratulations to both players. Many have expressed confidence that the duo will make the most of this opportunity and represent the country with distinction on the international stage.
