Rahul Dravid’s Son Anvay Named in India U-19 Squad for Sri Lanka Tour

Anvay Dravid, younger son of Rahul Dravid, named in India Men’s U-19 ODI squad for the Sri Lanka tour. He’s one of two wicketkeepers in the 15-man white-ball squad, alongside Rajat Baghel. Tour dates: July 4-23, 2026. 3 one-dayers in Hambantota on July 4, 6, 9, followed by 2 multi-day games in Galle and Colombo.

Anvay is a right-hand batter and wicketkeeper who has played one match for India B Under-19s, against Afghanistan Under-19s, as part of a one-day tri-series at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru in November 2025. He made a first-ball duck in the match and took two catches behind the stumps.

Anvay recently led Karnataka's Under-19 side to the quarter-finals of the Vinoo Mankad Trophy. He scored 220 runs in the tournament - the second-most for his side - averaging 55.00 across six innings.

The two Under-19 sides picked for the upcoming tour will be led by Yashbardhan Singh Chauhan of Madhya Pradesh, with Uttarakhand top-order batter Lakshya Raichandani named as his deputy. Raichandani, also 17, has already made his first-class debut and scored three half-centuries in five innings in the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy season.

Captain: Yashbardhan Singh Chauhan, Vice-captain: Lakshya Raichandani – for both ODI and multi-day squads. This continues the Dravid family in junior cricket: elder brother Samit was picked for U-19s vs Australia in 2024 but missed out due to injury. Rahul Dravid also captained India U-19 in 1992.Bottom line: Anvay Dravid earns his first India U-19 ODI call-up for the Sri Lanka tour in July as a keeper-batter, following strong domestic performances for Karnataka.

Dravid's older son, Samit Dravid, who is 20, was also picked for the India Under-19s to play against Australia Under-19s in 2024, but was sidelined with a knee injury. Samit had earned the Under-19 call-up after featuring in Karnataka's T20 league, the Maharaja T20 Trophy.
