The India Under-19 team will be coached by Rahul Dravid, who was handed the responsibility earlier this year. He is also the India A coach as well.

Under Dravid’s watch he won his first couple of silverware when India won the unofficial Test series against South Africa A and the tri-series comprising of Australia A and South Africa A as well.

India are all set to play the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, which will be held in Bangladesh between January 22 to February 14 2016.
