Legendary cricketer’s son named in U-19 World Cup squad

Australia will launch their campaign against India, who were the runners up in the previous edition.

Jason Sangha has been named as the skipper to lead the Australia’s U-19 squad

The selection committee has also included Australian legend Steve Waugh’s son Austin in the 15-member squad.

Cricket Australia announced their squad for the U-19 World Cup which is scheduled to take place in the beginning of 2018.

Austin will have great opportunity to emulate his father’s illustrious career, who led the Aussie to 1999 World Cup title and was also a part of the 1987 World Cup winning side.

The U-19 World Cup is set to begin on January 13 and ends on February 3.

Austin plays a role of right-arm batsman and bowls a right-arm medium pace, just like his father.
