New Delhi: Maharashtra batsman Pavan Shah has replaced Aryan Juyal as the captain of the India U-19 squad for the Asia Cup, starting in Dhaka from September 29.

Most of the players from India's tour of Sri Lanka were retained while Juyal has been dropped. Although he is only 16, Juyal won't be eligible to play in the next World Cup, as BCCI policy doesn't allow any player to play two successive colts World Cup.

Meanwhile, Shah and Vedant Murkar will lead India A and B squads in the four-nation tournament, also comprising Nepal and Afghanistan. It will be played in Lucknow from September 12 to 18.
