Anvay Dravid and Aaryavir Sehwag named in India U-19 ODI squad for Australia
Sons of Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag earn India U-19 call-ups for the Australia series.
The BCCI selection committee named Anvay Dravid and Aaryavir Sehwag in India's Under-19 ODI squad for the upcoming series against Australia. The committee also selected separate squads for the three one-day matches and two multi-day games, with Lakshya Raichandani set to lead the ODI side and Yashbardhan Singh Chauhan named captain for the longer-format fixtures.
The selections continue a pattern of players following family legacies into the national youth setup. Anvay is the son of former India captain Rahul Dravid, while Aaryavir is the elder son of former India opener Virender Sehwag.
The series will give the young players exposure against competitive opposition. The BCCI has maintained its policy of developing depth across age-group pathways while preparing players for potential senior team call-ups.

The selections show the BCCI's comfort with established family names at the youth level, even as the same board enforces strict rotation rules that keep other standout performers out.
