Anvay Dravid, the son of former India skipper Rahul Dravid, has been named in the India Under-19s as the Junior Cricket Committee has announced the Under-19 squad for the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka on Thursday.
The tour will feature three one-day matches followed by two multi-day games, providing the young side with valuable exposure in both limited-overs and longer formats. A right-handed wicketkeeper/batter, Anvay has represented India B Under-19s in a one-day tri-series against Afghanistan Under-19s at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru in November 2025. In his only appearance, he was dismissed for a first-ball duck but contributed behind the stumps with two catches. Anvay recently led Karnataka's Under-19 side to the quarter-finals of the Vinoo Mankad Trophy, finishing as one of their standout performers. He amassed 220 runs in the tournament, the second-highest tally for his team, averaging 55.00 across six innings. The tour will start with three one-dayers, on July 4, 6 and 9, all in Hambantota, starting at 10 am local time. The first four-day game will be played from July 13 to 16 in Galle, and the second from July 20 to 23 in Colombo.
