Dubai: All 16 squads have now been named ahead of the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2012, which takes place in Queensland, Australia, from 11-26 August.
Australia will defend the title it won in Lincoln, New Zealand, in 2010, and will not only aim to win the trophy for the fourth time in nine events, it will also try to match Pakistan's effort of winning back-to-back titles.
Pakistan won the tournaments in 2004 and 2006 in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, respectively.
India has also won the tournament twice in 2002 in Sri Lanka under Mohamamd Kaif and in 2008 under the leadership of Virat Kohli while England's Owais Shah put his hands on the trophy in Johannesburg when South Africa staged the event in 1998.
Pakistan has retained the same side that was declared joint winner with India after their Asia Cup final in Kuala Lumpur on 1 July ended in a tie.
India will be skippered by Delhi's opener Unmukt Chand who has scored 738 runs in 11 first-class matches. Other members of the side who have played first-class cricket include Tamil Nadu's top order batsman Baba Aparajith, left-arm spinner Harmeet Singh and opener Akhil Herwadkar (both Mumbai), right-arm fast bowler Sandeep Sharma and opener Manan Vohra (both Punjab) and Dehli's left-arm spinner Vikas Mishra.
The West Indies has named Test opener Kraigg Brathwaite in its side. Also in the West Indies' side is Trinidad's left-arm fast bowler Derone Davis who is a cousin of West Indies stars Darren and Dwayne Bravo.
