Legendary batsman Rahul Dravid’s younger son Anvay Dravid was on Thursday included in India’s Under-19 squad for the tour of Sri Lanka, starting July 4. The BCCI’s Junior Cricket Committee picked the India Men’s Under-19 squads for the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka, comprising three one-day matches and two multi-day games. Yashbardhan Singh Chauhan will lead the one-day and multi-day teams and Lakshya Raichandani is his deputy in both squads.
Dravid junior features in the One-day squad as one of the two wicket-keeping options alongside Rajat Baghel, while Manav Krishna and Aryan Sandesh Sakpal have been picked as wicketkeepers for the multi-day fixtures.
Anvay, 17, notably captained the Karnataka U-19 team to the quarterfinals in the last Vinoo Mankad Trophy in which he aggregated 220 runs in six matches with a highest score of an unbeaten 82.
He has played for the India Under-19 B squad during a triangular home series in Bengaluru that also featured India A and Afghanistan U-19 teams.
He also earned selection into Team C for the Under-19 One-Day Challenger Trophy following a string of good domestic performances.
In 2024, Dravid’s elder son Samit Dravid was included in India’s Under-19 squad for the bilateral home series against Australia, but an injury forced him to miss the rubber.
Dravid had also represented India at the Under-19 level during the early 1990s.
