The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the inclusion of D. Deepesh and Naman Pushpak in the India U19 squad for the upcoming tour of England, scheduled from June 24 to July 23, 2025. The duo replaces Aditya Rana and Khilan Patel, both of whom have been ruled out due to injury.
In an official statement released on Monday, the BCCI said:
“The Junior Cricket Committee has named D. Deepesh and Naman Pushpak as replacements for Aditya Rana and Khilan Patel, respectively, for the upcoming India U19 tour of England.”
Both Deepesh and Naman were originally listed as standby players and have now earned their place in the touring squad. The team is set to engage in a month-long tour featuring a series of youth ODIs and red-ball matches as part of their developmental exposure overseas.
