Both sides will lock horns in five Youth ODI games during the series. The first match is scheduled to be played at Central County Ground, Hove.

Former England captain Andrew Flintoff’s son, Rocky Flintoff, has also been named England U19 squad for the series. Below is their 15-member squad.

England U19 squad for ODI series against India U19: Thomas Rew (C), Ralphie Albert, Ben Dawkins, Jaydn Denly, Rocky Flintoff, Alex French, Alex Green, Jack Home, James Isbell, Ben Mayes, James Minto, Isaac Mohammed, Joseph Moores, Seb Morgan, Alex Wade.

ENG U19 coach Mike Yardy said that they have picked an exciting squad for the series, which will experience a great challenge against the India U19 team.

“We’ve selected an exciting squad for the ODI series. We have players who have a variety of white-ball skills and are predominantly available for the ICC Under-19 World Cup in the winter. India Under-19s will provide a great challenge this summer and it’s a great opportunity for the boys to perform as a team and individually,” he was quoted as saying by ecb.co.uk.

Meanwhile, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) named the India U-19 squad for the series last month. Ayush Mhatre is set to lead a 16-member squad during the series.

After the completion of the five-match Youth ODI series, both teams will also battle in two Youth four-day test matches. The first game will begin at the County Cricket Ground in Beckenham on July 12. The second test will begin on July 19 at The Ambassador Cruise Line Ground, Chelmsford.
