Anvay Dravid named in India U-19 squad for Sri Lanka tour

Anvay Dravid, the 17-year-old son of legendary Indian cricketer Rahul Dravid, has been selected for the India Under-19 squad for an upcoming tour of Sri Lanka. The Board of Control for Cricket in India's Junior Cricket Committee announced the squads on Thursday, June 11, for a multi-format series beginning on July 4.

Anvay Dravid, a wicketkeeper-batter, was named in the 15-player squad for the three one-day matches. He is one of two wicketkeeping options alongside Rajat Baghel. For the two multi-day fixtures, the wicketkeeping duties will be handled by Manav Krishna and Aryan Sandesh Sakpal. Yashbardhan Singh Chauhan will captain the Indian contingent in both formats, with Lakshya Raichandani serving as vice-captain.

The younger Dravid has followed a path of steady progression in age-group cricket. He notably captained the Karnataka U19 team to the quarterfinals in the last Vinoo Mankad Trophy, scoring 220 runs in six matches. He has previously represented the India Under-19 'B' squad in a triangular series and earned a spot in the Under-19 One-Day Challenger Trophy. His selection comes after he made his India U19 debut against Afghanistan in November 2025.
