Legendary batter Rahul Dravid’s younger son Anvay Dravid was on Thursday included in India’s Under-19 squad for the tour of Sri Lanka, starting on 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 os 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.

Dravid, 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.

India’s U-19 one-day squad:

Sagar Virk, Lakshya Raichandani (VC), Yashbardhan Singh Chauhan (C), Vineeth V K, Arjun Rajput, Kushagra Ojha, Rajat Baghel (WK), Anvay Dravid (WK), Anmoljeet Singh, Vutkuri Yashveer Goud, Rohit Anil Yadav, Shavin V, Kavya Paresh Patel, Mohit Ulva, Ishan Sood.
