Overview
- The India junior selection committee announced the squads on Thursday and included 17-year-old Anvay Dravid as one of two wicketkeeping options in the one-day side.
- Anvay earned the call after a strong Vinoo Mankad Trophy for Karnataka, where he scored 220 runs at an average of 55.00 and captained his side to the quarter-finals.
- He previously featured for India B Under-19s in a November 2025 tri-series, where he took two catches as wicketkeeper despite a first-ball dismissal with the bat.
- The Sri Lanka tour runs from July 4–23 with three Youth ODIs in Hambantota followed by two four-day games in Galle and Colombo, giving players format-specific experience.
- The selection draws extra attention because he is Rahul Dravid’s son, but coverage and selectors point to his domestic form and the U19 pathway as the bases for the maiden call-up and future chances.
