The Junior Cricket Committee has picked India’s U19 for the upcoming tour of England, scheduled from June 24 to July 23, 2025. The tour comprises a 50-over warm-up match, followed by a five-match Youth One-Day series and two Multi-Day matches against England U19.

The committee has picked Mumbai batter Ayush Mhatre to lead the strong 16-member squad. Bihar's 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who made a mark in the IPL 2025 for Rajasthan Royals, will also be seen opening alongside Mhatre for the multi-format tour that begins June 24 at the Loughbrough University Ground.

Abhigyan Kundu, Mhatre's Mumbai colleague, has also been picked as the deputy for the tour to the United Kingdom. He acts as a strong wicketkeeping option, whereas Harvansh Singh is the second option to don the gloves in the side.
