AUS U 19 Vs IND U 19 2025: Two Indian Origin Names Added To Australian Squad

Two cricketers of Indian origin, Aryan Sharma and Yash Deshmukh, have been named in Australia U19‘s squad against India U19 to take part in the multi-format home series later this year. The series is set to begin on September 21.

Sharma is a batter from Victoria. All-rounder Deshmukh is amongst five cricketers from New South Wales to have been picked in the squad. The youngsters are set to be coached by former Australian head coach Tim Nielsen. The upcoming assignment will be Nielsen’s first with the U19 setup. He has previously coached the senior men’s national side, spanning from 2007 to 2011, which was a period of transition, as Matthew Hayden, Adam Gilchrist, and Glenn McGrath had called it a time.

Speaking of the tour’s schedule, the upcoming assignment will get underway with three 50-over matches to be played on September 21, 24 and 26 at the Ian Healy Oval in Brisbane. The white-ball assignment will be followed by a couple of four-day matches scheduled from September 30 to October 3 in Brisbane and from October 7 to 10 in Mackay, respectively.

Cricket Australia’s Head of National Development Sonya Thompson expressed CA’s collective excitement for Nielsen’s integration within the U19 system.

“We’re also thrilled to welcome Tim Nielsen as head coach of the national U19 squad. His extensive international experience and leadership will be instrumental in guiding and inspiring Australia’s next generation of cricketers,” stated Thompson in a release on Friday.

The upcoming series has been designed as part of CA’s long-term player development strategy. The main aim behind this is providing young players with top-notch international exposure in both white-ball and red-ball formats to prepare them for the future. Apart from the fifteen named, three additional names will be taking part as standbys.
