Himanshu Rana to lead India U-19 in Asia Cup

Bengaluru, October 15: Himanshu Rana of Haryana will lead India Under-19 side in the Asia Cup to be held in Malaysia from November 9 to 20.

India are the defending champions in the tournament. However, the selectors did not consider the prolific Prithvi Shaw.

They were of the opinion that the 17-year-old Shaw should play in the Ranji Trophy to gain more exposure in the long format of the game.

Shaw had recently scored a 154 in the Duleep Trophy final and that might have influenced the selectors' decision.
