Wicketkeeper-batter Anvay Dravid, son of former India captain and coach Rahul Dravid, was on Saturday named in the Karnataka probable list of players for the Under-16 Vijay Merchant Trophy, beginning from December 6.

Anvay is the one of the three wicketkeepers named in the 35-member probable list with Aditya Jha and Joy James being the other two.

Anvay, who had captained the state Under-14 side last year in the inter-zone meet, had cracked an unbeaten 200 for Bangalore Zone against Tumkur Zone in the KSCA Under-16 Inter Zonal tournament recently, underlining his potential.

His elder brother Samit is currently playing for Karnataka in the Cooch Behar Trophy against Baroda in Vadodara.

 

Samit, a medium pace all-rounder, made a 71 off 141 balls (11x4), but Karnataka succumbed to Baroda by an innings and 212 runs.

Former state players Kunal Kapoor and Adithya B Sagar will be the head coach and bowling coach of the Under-16 team respectively for the Vijay Merchant Trophy.
