    I can’t understand why ankit bawne has not found a place in the indian u-19 team. He is the only u-19 indian player to have scored a first class hundred. Look at the captain meenaria. He has not even scored a first class fifty. Ankit had scored two hundreds in the recently concluded vinoo mankad trophy for the u-19 teams. Ankit Bawne scored his maiden ranji trophy hundred against karnataka
