MUMBAI: In another boost to his fledgling career, the Mumbai selectors on Tuesday named India's Under-19 captain Ayush Mhatre as the skipper of the Mumbai team in the Buchi Babu Tournament in Tamil Nadu.
Mumbai will play their first match in the event from Aug 18.
The 18-year-old slammed back-to-back centuries in the two Youth tests against the England Under-19 team while leading India the Under-19 team. Mhatre will lead India Under-19 in a multi-format tour of Australia (three one-daygames followed by two four-day matches), which begins on Sept 21 at Ian Healy Oval in Brisbane.
