Maharashtra batsman Vijay Zol has been named captain of the India Under-19 squad for the Tri-nation Under-19 Tournament in Australia, which will begin on June 30. Zol and Mumbai batsman Akhil Herwadkar are the only two players in the squad who were a part of the squad at the U-19 World Cup last year, which India won. Zol hit the headlines when he scored an unbeaten 451 during a domestic U-19 match in 2011. During the U-19 World Cup, Zol scored 151 runs in six matches at an average of 25.16. He has scored 272 runs in seven List A matches at an average of 36. Kerala wicketkeeper Sanju Samson, who was part of the Under-19 team for the Asia Cup in 2012, also made the squad. He had had a good domestic season in the limited-overs format, scoring 222 runs in seven games at an average of 37.00 in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and then doing well in the IPL with 206 runs in 11 games. The tournament will also feature U-19 teams from Australia and New Zealand. India Under-19 squad: Vijay Zol (capt), Sanju Samson (vice-capt & wk), Akhil Herwadkar, Shreyas Iyer, Deepak Hooda, Mohammad Saif, Sarfaraz Khan, Ricky Bhui, Abhimanyu Lamba, Rishi Arothe, Atul Singh, CV Milind, Aamir Gani, Kuldeep Yadav, Ankush Bains (wk)

Why no Baba Aparajith?
Thats a surprising omission. I hope his father being close to Srini hasn't worked against him and there are genuine reasons for his non selection.

All these under 19 stars dont seem to have brilliant FC stats. Chand Zol and Baba are averaging in the 30s. Only that seam bowler (sandeep singh? plays for kings 11) has good numbers. Baba is certainly a surprise omission. But is he going to be under 20 when the world cup is being played? He is on the verge of turning 19 in a month and maybe wont qualify for the world cup in 2014?

i thought under 19 includes 19 as well? i remember chand being 19 at the time of the under 19 world cup
Why do you want him in U19? He should concentrate on first class cricket. There are millions of people who are longing for an opportunity. I am sure his selection was partly influenced by his father.

He was pretty good with the bat and ball in Australia for the WC. Why shouldn't he be in the Australia & NZ squad? He is a good player, IMO.
