I’m certain there might be a few gamers who will play for India, U-19 head coach Kanitkar

India U-19 head coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar is assured that a minimum of couple of gamers from the 2024 batch will go on to play for the senior group.

Although five-time champions India misplaced the ultimate to Australia by 79 runs, gamers like skipper Uday Saharan, Musheer Khan, Saumy Pandey and Sachin Dhas had been spectacular all through the event.

“Definitely (the future of India is very bright). As a bowling side and as a batting side, there have been stand out performances by quite a few players.

“They have shown maturity in tough situations and that bodes well for Indian cricket,” Kanitkar stated on the post-match press convention on Sunday.

The Indian group has at all times been an age-group powerhouse and the U-19 World Cup has introduced stars like Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Mohammed Kaif, Suresh Raina, Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal to call a number of.

“Everytime time there are a couple of guys who step up either in the IPL or the Indian team. I’m sure there will be a couple, but there is great competition back home,” Kanitkar added.

Squad members Arshin Kulkarni and Aravelly Avanish Rao went into the U-19 World Cup 2024 having already secured IPL contracts.

Kanitkar feels taking part in within the U-19 World Cup supplies the gamers with an perception into how taking part in on the senior stage is.

“For the players great journey, everything is highlighted, these performances matter, they are under the scanner. They get used to these situations. The know what expect and are prepared when they play higher cricket,” stated the 49-year-old head coach.
