India’s U19 National Cricket Team is gearing for the upcoming ACC U19 Asia Cup 2026, and two Indian greats’ children have already caught everyone’s attention. And they are Aaryavir Sehwag and Anvay Dravid, sons of India’s legendary batters Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid.
Aaryavir and Anvay have impressed everyone with their recent performances for India U19 during their 3-0 one-day youth series win over Australia U19. And now they are expected to be among the players in contention for the upcoming ACC U19 Asia Cup 2026. Earlier, U19 Asia Cup 2026 schedule announced, India vs Pakistan on November 8.
Aaryavir Sehwag and Anvay Dravid set for India U19 selection for U19 Asia Cup 2026
Now, the focus is shifting to the U19 Asia Cup 2026 that is scheduled from November 5 to 14 in Oman, and Aaryavir Sehwag and Anvay Dravid are in line to be selected for the tournament.
If Aaryavir and Anvay select for the tournament, India's U19 team’s campaign is expected to attract huge interest. Last year, fans closely followed young stars Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Ayush Mhatre. This time, Aaryavir and Anvay could steal all the spotlight in the U19 Asia Cup 2026.
India will also have revenge on their minds after Pakistan defeated them by 191 runs in the 2025 U19 Asia Cup final. But India roared back in the 2026 Under-19 World Cup, beating Pakistan on the way to the title.
Aaryavir Sehwag and Anvay Dravid impressed in the Youth ODI series
Aaryavir Sehwag has got a bright start as an opener as he provided brisk starts in his first three matches for India U19. However, the Jr. Sehwag is still waiting for his first half-century, with his highest score so far being 47.
On the other hand, Anvay Dravid has also shown his batting talent. The Jr. Dravid caught attention in July with an impressive 87 off just 67 balls against Sri Lanka U19 in a one-day youth match. Now, both youngsters will be eager to continue their good form and strengthen their selection chances.
The India vs Pakistan U19 Asia Cup 2026 match will be played on November 8 at the Oman Cricket Academy Ground 1. However, the India Under 19 team will kick off their campaign against Nepal on November 6 before facing Pakistan and then the UAE on November 10.
India remains the most successful team in the U19 Asia Cup with 8 titles, including one shared. Amid this, BCCI’s big ₹127 Crore move after injury crisis raises concerns over Team India.
