Samit Dravid will not be able to play Under 19 World Cup
Samit Dravid in U19 Team India: The son of former Indian team captain and head coach Rahul Dravid will now be seen playing for Team India. Samit Dravid has also been selected for the series with Australia’s Under 19 team. The series will take place this month, but before that the discussion about Samit Dravid has started. Meanwhile, the special thing is that Samit may be seen playing for India’s Under 19 team right now. No matter how he performs, it is certain that he will not be able to play the Under 19 World Cup for India. There is a catch in this, which will prevent him from doing so.
Samit Dravid was born on 10 November 2005
Samit Dravid was born on 10 November 2005. According to this, his age today i.e. on 2 September 2024 is 18 years and 297 days. Samit will turn 19 years old on 10 November this year. Turning 19 means that after this he will not be able to play in the Under 19 team. The Under 19 World Cup will be held in the year 2026. That means by then Samit Dravid will be around 20 years old. In such a situation, he will not be eligible to enter that team.
Australia series will end in October
The series against Australia’s A team will start from September 21. That means Samit will be less than 19 years old by then, so he will be seen playing in this series. The series will first have three ODI matches, which will end on September 26. After this, there will be four-day matches, which will start on October 3 and 7. That means by the time Samit turns 19, the series will be over. Overall, it can also be believed that this could be Samit Dravid’s last series as an under-19 player.
