India's under-19 side is all set for their series against Australia, which will begin on September 21. The IDFC First Bank series will be a multi-formatted affair, featuring three ODIs and two four-day matches. India's squad for the series was announced on Saturday with separate captains for either of the formats.

For the 3-match ODI series, UP's Mohd Amaan has been chosen as the captain while Indore's Soham Patwardhan will be the skipper for the two 4-day matches, which will be played in Puducherry and Chennai.

Soham Patwardhan from Indore is known for being an ambidextrous spinner. This unique skill and his prowess with the bat make him the kind of all-rounder that the game demands today. Soham's inclusion in the India U-19 side as the captain for the red ball format has been the result of a number of impressive performances in recent months.

These performances include centuries for Madhya Pradesh in important games at the Vinoo Mankad Trophy and Cooch Behar Trophy. Now, the 18-year-old will get the opportunity to impress at a bigger stage with his international debut with the India U19 squad.
