Sehwag and Dravid are back for India on the international stage. Legendary batters Rahul Dravid's and Virender Sehwag's sons, Anvay and Aaryavir respectively, were on Thursday included in India's Under-19 squad for the upcoming one-day series against Australia, beginning on September 18. The BCCI selection committee picked separate squads for the three one-day matches and two multi-day games, with Lakshya Raichandani set to lead the ODI side and Yashbardhan Singh Chauhan named captain for the longer-format fixtures.
