Promising Mumbai batsman Prithvi Shaw will lead a 16-member Indian team in next year's ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup. BCCI acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary said in a release today that the All-India Junior Selection Committee has picked the India Under19 team for the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2018. The 16-team event will be held in New Zealand from 13th January to 3rd February 2018. Last edition's runners-up India have won the Under-19 World Cup title thrice in 2000, 2008 and 2012.
