Samit Dravid, son of former Team India skipper, Rahul Dravid has been named in India's U19 squads for the upcoming multi-format home series against Australia U19. This is the first time Samit has been named in India's U19 squad.

Mohamed Amman has been named captain of the 50-over squad. Amman is a middle-order batter and plays domestic cricket for Uttar Pradesh (UP).

Soham Patwardhan has been announced as the skipper for the four-day series. Patwardhan represents Madhya Pradesh in the domestic arena.
