The England and Wales Cricket Board has announced the England Under 19 squad
for the tour to India this winter. The six-week tour begins on Wednesday 27
December and finishes on Wednesday 7 February.
The team will play three four-day Test Matches and three One-Day Internationals against the India Under 19 team, who are current Under 19 World Champions, as well as a number of other three-day and one-day matches. A full itinerary will be issued as soon as possible.
The 15-man squad features 10 players from this summer's squad which played
against Sri Lanka Under 19 (Bell, Wallace, Peng, Ali, Pratt, Panesar,
Pattison, Sadler, Bishop, Tremlett) but there are five newcomers (Muchall,
McGarry, Ferley, Hogg, Suppiah). Eight players have experience in First
Class cricket.
Tim Boon, England Under 19 Team Coach, said, "The opportunity to play in the
sub-continent against the current Under 19 World Champions will be a great
experience for our players and an important part of their cricketing
education. India's main strengths will be in their batting and spin bowling
- they will be a tough side to beat."
England Under 19 last toured India in 1992/3, when Matthew Walker captained
a side which included current England player Michael Vaughan. England drew
the three-match Test Series 1-1, but lost the one-day series 0-3.
India Under 19 returned to England in the summer of 1994 and played an
England Under 19 side which included Marcus Trescothick, Michael Vaughan,
Chris Silverwood and Vikram Solanki. England won the three-match Test
Series 1-0 and the one-day series 2-0.
