The India U-19 team will get into the World Cup preparatory mode as the Boys in Blue take on South Africa U-19 in the first of three ODIs on Saturday at the Willowmoore Park in Benoni. The ODI series is the final leg of preparation for both sides ahead of the 2026 U-19 World Cup which starts in Zimbabwe and Namibia, from January 15.
However, India will be missing the services of regular captain Ayush Mhatre and middle order batter Vihaan Malhotra due to injuries. In the absence of Mhatre, vice-captain Vaibhav Suryavanshi will lead the side in the three ODIs, to be played from January 3 to 7, all in Benoni.
The Indian U19 team are coming after a not so successful youth Asia Cup tourney. After remaining undefeated in the whole tournament, the Mhatre-led side lost to arch-rivals Pakistan U-19 in the final.
