After an intense 5-match ODI series, England U19 and India U19 are ready to participate in the first Youth Test of the 2-match series. The England youth team had a poor outing during the limited overs series against Ayush Mhatre's team. India won the series by 3-2, and they will try to do the same in the longest format series as well. The two teams will face off at the Kent County Cricket Ground, Beckenham, from July 12 (today). England, led by Thomas Rew, will definitely try hard to improve their numbers against India. 

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi this time too will look to continue his tremendous batting performance. He proved his dominance in the limited-over series, amassing 355 runs at an average of 71.00 and a stunning strike rate of 174.01. The 14-year-old recorded scores of 48, 45, 86, 143, and 33 in the Youth ODI series.
