Harsha Vithane, a product of St. Aloysius College, Galle will lead a 14-member Sri Lanka under 19 cricket team on a tour of Pakistan starting December 29.

This tour was hastily arranged by Sri Lanka Cricket to replace the postponed tour here by India. The national selectors on Thursday picked a squad of six batsmen, two all-rounders, three spinners and three fast bowlers for the month long tour which will see Sri Lanka pit their skills against their Pakistani under 19 counterparts in two four-day unofficial tests and three limited-over one-day games.

The squad which is subject to ratification by the Sports Minister is:
