India's U19 World Cup captain Yash Dhull has been picked in Delhi's squad for Ranji Trophy 2022, starting later this month but senior pacer Ishant Sharma has made himself unavailable for selection. Ishant's decision comes as a surprise, considering India are set to play a 2-Test series against Sri Lanka at home in March.
Yash Dhull's selection comes after several of his teammates, including Raj Bawa and Harnoor Pannu, getting picked in their respective state sides besides for the Ranji Trophy campaign. Dhull led India to U19 World Cup title in West Indies
earlier this month as India defeated England in the final.
The Dhull-led India U-19 side was felicitated by BCCI in Ahmedabad on Wednesday during the second ODI against West Indies.
