Newly-appointed U-19 captain Yashbardhan Chauhan, 17, is looking to perform well on the Sri Lanka tour, beginning on Saturday, with the hope of getting picked for the Madhya Pradesh (MP) Ranji Trophy team. India U-19 will play three one-day games and two multi-day encounters, beginning in Hambantota.

“I see this India U-19 selection as a huge opportunity. If I do well here, I can get a chance in the [MP] state team in first-class cricket,” Yashbardhan told mid-day over the phone from Gwalior recently. Chauhan represented the MP U-23 team in three matches, scoring two centuries last season.
