Rahul Dravid’s son Anvay Dravid comes in India National Cricket Team

Anvay Dravid, the younger son of Indian cricket legend Rahul Dravid, has been selected in one of the four squads for the Men’s U19 One-Day Challenger Trophy. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that Anvay will represent Team C in the tournament, a key platform for emerging cricketers.

Notably, the Challenger Trophy is set to take place in Hyderabad from November 5 to 11. The BCCI annually organizes the tournament, and this year’s edition carries added significance. India’s young talents can impress selectors ahead of the U19 World Cup, scheduled to be held in Zimbabwe and Namibia in 2026.

In an official release, the BCCI on Tuesday stated, “The Junior Selection Committee has picked the teams for the upcoming IDFC First Bank Men's U19 One-Day Challenger Trophy to be played in Hyderabad from 5th-11th November, 2025.”

Anvay's elder brother, Samit Dravid, has also followed in his father’s footsteps. He was named in India’s U-19 squad for the bilateral series against Australia, held in Pondicherry and Chennai in 2024, but was absent from the fixtures due to an injury.
