Five Indians picked in ICC Under-19 World Cup team

Only a day after the Under 19 World Cup last, the ICC, on Sunday (February 4), declared the group of the competition which was altogether commanded by the Indian adolescents, who fittingly won the pined for trophy for the fourth time in the history.

South Africa's Raynard Van Tonder has been named as the chief of the side which includes players from four different nations - India, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Van Tonder, who began his World Cup battle with a rankling 143 against Kenya, incorporated a cap trap of single-digit scores before coming back to frame in the last two amusements. The purpose for picking Van Tonder, in any case, as the captain of the side is only for his 'better cricket insight' the ICC stated, in its discharge.

India's main three - Prithvi Shaw, Manjot Kalra and Shubman Gill - who beat their rivals neck and product, with the bat, stood out enough to be noticed, as they fixed spaces 1, 2 and 3 in the playing eleven diagram. The Kiwi number three Finn Allen snatched the fourth spot having made 338 runs, which incorporates a century and two fifties, in the competition.

Qais Ahmad of Afghanistan and Ankul Roy of India were the main ones to get picked from the turn office, while Kamlesh Nagarkoti (India), Gerald Coetzee (South Africa) and Shaheen Afridi (Pakistan), guaranteed the quick rocking the bowling alley spots eight, nine and eleven separately.

Wandile Makwetu, who had a magnificent time behind the stumps and the ostensibly the best gloveman of the competition, was fittingly named as the wicket-manager of the side, batting at number six just underneath his commander van Tonder. Windies all-rounder Alick Athanaze, for his remarkable show with the bat - two fifties and two centuries, has been set apart as the twelfth man of the side.

As is apparent by the names, the group has been picked entirely based on exhibitions and consistency.

ICC Team of the year: Prithvi Shaw (India), Manjot Kalra (India), Shubman Gill (India), Finn Allen (New Zealand), Raynard van Tonder (South Africa, skipper), Wandile Makwetu (wicket-manager) (South Africa), Anukul Roy (India), Kamlesh Nagarkoti (India), Gerald Coetzee (South Africa), Qais Ahmad (Afghanistan), Shaheen Afridi (Pakistan).
