India Under-23 have made the final of the Asian Cricket Council Emerging Teams Cup with a 46-run win over the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the first semi-final on Friday.
Medium pacer Sandeep Warrier picked up three wickets, while opener Unmukt Chand struck a patient half-century as the India Under-23 team got the better of arch-rivals Pakistan by three wickets in a limited overs Group 'A' match of the ACC Emerging Teams Cup in Singapore on Sunday.
Unmukt Chand, the India-Under 19 World Cup winning captain has said that he is focussing on the immediate tournaments although his big dream is to play for India. Chand has been touted as the next big thing because of his exploits at the age group level and has shown great promise after that as well....
He may be all of 20 but when it comes to utilising his spare time off the field, former India U-19 captain Unmukt Chand is a chip off the old block compared to his contemporaries as he spend time penning his World Cup memories as well as reading some quality books.
BCCI's All-India Junior Selection Committee on Wednesday announced the India Under-23 team for the Asian Cricket Council Emerging Teams Cup to be played in Singapore in August.
