Anvay, the son of renowned former Indian batsman Rahul Dravid, was included on Tuesday in one of the four teams for the BCCI’s Under-19 One-Day Challenger Trophy, which will begin on Wednesday in Hyderabad.
The teenager, a top-order batsman and wicketkeeper, has been selected for Team C of the annual competition, which gives young cricketers a stage on which to display their abilities.
Anvay, the younger brother of Samit—who has featured in a few Maharaja T20 KSCA Trophy matches as a top-order batter—is known for his hard-hitting batting style.
“The Junior Selection Committee has picked the teams for the upcoming IDFC First Bank Men’s U19 One-Day Challenger Trophy to be played in Hyderabad from 5th-11th November, 2025,” said a BCCI release.
Team C, captained by Aaron George, will kick off its U-19 One-Day Challenger Trophy campaign on Friday against Team B, led by Vedant Trivedi.
