Delhi batsman Yash Dhull will lead a 17-member Indian squad in the U-19 World Cup, which is scheduled to be held in the West Indies from January 14, the BCCI
announced on Sunday.

Four-time winners India are clubbed with South Africa, Ireland and Uganda in Group B. Dhull's appointment was on expected lines as he was also named captain for the U-19 Asia Cup, to be held in the UAE from December 23. Dhull will have Andhra's SK Rasheed as his deputy for the tournament in the Caribbean.

Delhi player Dhull thus joins the great Virat Kohli in captaining the junior side in the marquee tournament. He has previously led the Delhi U-16, U-19 and India A U-19 sides. India are the most successful team having won the title four times - 2000, 2008, 2012 and 2018. India have also been runners-up in 2016 and in the previous 2020 edition in New Zealand.
