160 runs at an avg of 27.0 and strike rate of 111!
He also got 4 wkts so far.

This guy has 1 fc hundred & 2 fifties. Only thing that could go agt him is his record in youth int'l matches. but that happened long time back, some couple of yrs ago.

We must include him for this u-19 world cup. Apart from Abul Hasan & Alauddin, current U-19 team doesn't have any reliable seamers. his inclusion might do a world of good to this team.
4 wickets in 7 matches is not good for a bowler. He is still 17 and has 1 FC hundred, at what he started playing first class cricket? I think selectors are in better positions to evaluate these kids as the see them playing, while we can only see the scores.
