In a compelling continuation of cricketing heritage, Archie Vaughan and Rocky Flintoff, sons of the illustrious former England cricketers Michael Vaughan and Andrew Flintoff, are poised to make their U19 Test debuts against Sri Lanka. This next generation is eager to forge their own paths in the sport.

The 14-member squad, hailed for its deeply-rooted family connections, also includes Farhan Ahmed, brother of leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed, and Jaydn Denly, nephew of ex-England batter Joe Denly. Hamza Shaikh, the team's captain, expressed his gratitude for the mentorship he's received, which has emboldened his leadership both on and off the pitch.

Archie Vaughan, 18, who recently shined with an impressive 83-ball 85, and Rocky Flintoff, the 16-year-old all-rounder with a youth ODI century to his name, will bring their talents to the forthcoming matches. The England U19 squad is set to face Sri Lanka U19 in two Tests, upholding a legacy of excellence and ambition.
