Rajput is the U-19 coach for Lanka trip

Former Test opener Lalchand Rajput is to accompany the India under-19 squad as its coach on the forthcoming trip to Sri Lanka to play a tri-series followed by a couple of three-day ties.

The squad, led by Tanmay Srivastava, will have a conditioning camp in Chennai from July 7 to 14 before proceeding to Lanka, according to cricket Board sources.

The squad is to take part in an under-19 triangular limited overs series, featuring the hosts and Bangladesh, and then clash with their Lankan counterparts in two three-day matches.
