Ayush Mhatre leads India's Under-19 cricket squad for their upcoming Australian tour beginning September 21. The team will compete in three one-day matches and two four-day contests against Australia's youth players. This tour follows the squad's recent successful campaign in England.

Vihaan Malhotra accepts the vice-captaincy role after consistent displays in both formats during the England series. Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi joins the squad following his record-breaking century in Youth ODI cricket. The batting prodigy accumulated 355 runs during the five-match ODI series against England.
