The India U19 cricket team is currently in England for their tour, which includes five Youth ODIs and two Youth Test matches. The 2nd Youth Test between England U-19 and India U-19 started on July 20, 2025, and will continue until July 23. The match is being held at the County Ground in Chelmsford. The first Youth Test, held at Kent County Ground in Beckenham, ended in a draw.
For fans in India, the 2nd Youth Test match will not be televised on any TV channels. However, live streaming will be available on the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) YouTube channel. The match is scheduled to begin at 3:30 PM IST.
In the first Test, India U19 amassed 540 in their first innings, with contributions from captain Ayush Mhatre, who scored his first century on tour, and fifties from Vihaan Malhotra, Abhigyan Kundu, Rahul Kumar, and KS Ambrish. England U19 responded with Hamza Shaikh's century and half-centuries from Ben Mayes and Thomas Rew, managing to draw the match.
Key players to watch from the India U-19 squad include Ayush Mhatre (Captain), Abhigyan Kundu (Vice-Captain & WK), and Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The England U-19 squad includes players like Archie Vaughan, Jaydn Denly, and Hamza Shaikh.
The India U-19 team, led by Ayush Mhatre, aims to conclude their England tour on a high note after securing a 3-2 victory in the ODI series. After missing out on a significant score in the previous match, Vaibhav Suryavanshi will be eager to make an impact in the second Youth Test. In the third ODI, Suryavanshi scored a record-breaking half-century off just 20 balls.
