MELBOURNE: Cricket Australia has named Vishwa Ramkumar, a talented leg-spinner of Indian heritage, in the Australian squad for the upcoming Under-19 Men’s Tour of India. Ramkumar continues the legacy of Harjas Singh and Harkirat Bajwa, who both represented Australia in the 2024 ICC Men’s Under 19 World Cup in February.
The 16-player squad, selected by the Youth Selection Panel in collaboration with State Talent Managers, will embark on a multi-format series in India beginning in September. The tour includes three 50-over matches and two four-day games, marking the start of a new World Cup cycle for Australia.
The Australian team enters the series with confidence after their undefeated run in the 2024 ICC Men’s Under 19 World Cup, where they defeated India by 79 runs in the final.
