Musheer Khan, Uday Saharan, Sachin Dhas, Saumy Pandey named in U19 World Cup Team of the Tournament

Indian players dominated the eleven-member list of the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024 team despite their defeat against Australia in the summit clash on Sunday, as the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday revealed the 11 best performers from the tournament.

“11 of the best performers from the U19 World Cup 2024 form the Team of the Tournament. Finalists India and Australia dominate the Team of the Tournament, with seven players featuring from the two sides,” a statement from ICC read.

Australia broke their winless streak against India in the U19 title clashes as its pace attack helped defend 254 against Men in Blue, winning their first title since 2010 and overall their fourth title on Sunday.

Leading run-scorer and India captain Uday Saharan, Musheer Khan, Sachin Dhas and Saumy Pandey are all included in the team.

Musheer Khan, an ace for India with both bat and ball, emerged as one of the U19 World Cup’s most promising possibilities. Musheer was the only player to achieve more than one century in the event, with tons against Ireland and New Zealand, propelling him to second place on the list of best-run scorers with 360 runs.

Though he was able to make an impression with the bat in the semi-final and final, he proved to be an invaluable asset, taking three wickets in the two games and finishing with seven in total.
