The BCCI has announced the squad of Team India for upcoming Under-19 Cricket World Cup. The World Cup will be played from 15th February to 28th February in UAE. Vijay Zol has been selected as the captain of the team. He was also the captain of the team when they toured UAE for the U-19 Asia Cup earlier.
