Ayush Mhatre flops again in YODI vs ENG, 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi scores 45 from 34

Ayush Mhatre and Vaibhav Suryavanshi are the star players in this IND vs ENG U19 series, and have already played in IPL 2025.
After a flop show in the first match, India U-19 skipper Ayush Mhatre slipped to a new low, as he suffered a first ball duck in the second ODI vs England U-19, on Monday, in Hove. The CSK opener, who was mighty impressive in IPL 2025, was removed by much easy by AM French, and castled the Indian. This performance came after Mhatre had scored 21 in the first encounter, that the team won by six wickets.

Meanwhile, this is a full-fledged U-19 tour that the Indian team is participating in.
Apart from five ODIs, the team will also play 2 Tests, from July 12 to 23. Ayush Mhatre will continue to lead the side in the longest-format too, after the completion of the white-ball series.
