Playing for India Under-19 is a dream for many young cricketers. It's a stepping stone to international cricket and a chance to represent your country at the highest level. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to achieve this goal:


Understanding the Pathway

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) organizes two major tournaments annually for Under-19 players:

  1. Cooch Behar Trophy: A three-day tournament played between state association teams.

  2. Vinoo Mankad Trophy: A 50-over format tournament played between state association teams.

State Association Trials

To be eligible for selection in these tournaments, you need to be part of your state association's team. Each state association conducts trials to select players for their Under-19 squads. The selection process varies from state to state, but typically involves district-level trials and league-based competitions.


Performance in Domestic Tournaments

Consistent and impressive performances in the Cooch Behar Trophy and Vinoo Mankad Trophy are crucial for selection to the India Under-19 team. The selectors closely monitor players' performances in these tournaments, looking for talent, consistency, and potential.


Selection Process

The top performers from the domestic tournaments are selected for the India Under-19 squad. The selection panel considers various factors, including batting average, bowling economy, fielding skills, and overall match-winning ability.


Documents Required

To participate in the trials and be eligible for selection, you will need the following documents:

  1. Aadhar Card with address of your state

  2. Digital Birth Certificate

  3. Highest education certificate or non-education affidavit


Tips for Success

Here are some tips to increase your chances of selection:

  • Practice Regularly: Consistent practice is key to improving your cricketing skills.

  • Focus on Technique: Work on your technique and fundamentals to develop a solid foundation.

  • Stay Fit: Maintain a high level of fitness to perform at your best.

  • Play Competitive Cricket: Participate in local and state-level tournaments to gain match experience.

  • Be Patient: The journey to the India Under-19 team takes time and effort. Be patient and persistent in your pursuit of your goals.
