The Meghalaya Cricket Association’s junior men selection committee has selected 15 players for the team’s last match of the U-19 men’s Cooch Behar Trophy 2024-25, which will be against Karnataka from 6 to 9 December in Bangalore.
One change has been made by the selectors, with Shubham Rasaily put on standby and Rohit Sharma brought into the squad.
Although they have lost all four matches played thus far in Elite Group A, Meghalaya have shown promise, especially in the batting department in their last two games, which were both played at home against the group’s top teams, Baroda and Delhi.
Karnataka, on the other hand, have had a mixed season with two wins and two defeats but they will be playing at their home ground and Meghalaya will have to rise to the occasion.
Meghalaya squad: Manthan Dey, Dipankar Baruah (C) (WK), Heiyomiki Ryngkhlem, Dipayan Nandi, Gaurav Jyoti Thakuria, Ashish Kumar Lohar, Gaurav Narleng, Apandanka R Marak, Kshitij Singhania, Rudrasingh Rathore, Sachang Sangma (VC), Shavian Blah, Grish Raj Ray, Angkit Tamang, Rohit Sharma
Standbys: Shubham Rasaily, Pushkar Raj Singh, Changsrang S Marak
Support staff: Sandipan Deb Nath (Head Coach), Hemant Roy (Assistant Coach), Hamboy Langbang (Physio), Gregory Syiemlieh (Trainer), Aaron G Diengdoh (Manager)
