Thomas Rew Named Captain As England Names U19 World Cup Squad
U19 World Cup: The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has announced a 15-member squad for the upcoming Men’s U19 World Cup, set to be hosted by Zimbabwe and Namibia from January 15, 2026.
Somerset wicketkeeper-batter Thomas Rew, who recently took part in the England Lions tour of Australia, will lead the team as captain for the upcoming ICC Under-19 Men's Cricket World Cup.
Nottinghamshire all-rounder Farhan Ahmed, who served as captain in Rew’s absence during the seven-match Youth ODI series against West Indies in Grenada, continues to hold a leadership position as vice-captain. Uncapped Leicestershire left-arm spinner Ali Farooq has received his first selection for the Young Lions.
