Skipper Ayush Mhatre was the leading run-scorer in the Youth Tests against the English U19 side earlier this month. He scored a prolific 340 runs in just four innings at an average of 85. His clinical show with the bat comprised two hundreds and a fifty. On the other hand, Vaibhav Suryavanshi was the top scorer in the Youth ODIs. In the five ODIs played, Suryavanshi smacked 355 runs at an average of 71. His exploits included a solitary ton and a fifty. His impact at the top of the innings was remarkable.
The tour to Australia will be a stepping stone in the careers of most of these players. The pitches in Australia will provide a different challenge for the team. Therefore, it will be extremely crucial for them to get an experience of the same early on in their careers.
