Archie Vaughan follows dad Michael’s footsteps as he’s named England U19 captain Archie Vaughan is following in the footsteps of his father Michael after being named as England Under-19 captain.
The 18-man squad is overseen by head coach Michael Yardy and includes 16-year-old off-spinner Farhan Ahmed, younger brother of England international Rehan, highly-rated leg-spinner Tazeem Ali and Durham’s pace prospect James Minto.
Vaughan senior led his country in 51 Tests, including the famous Ashes triumph of 2005, but first skippered his country at under-19 level in 1993/94.
His side will take on the Proteas in three Youth ODIs and two Youth Tests in Cape Town and Stellenbosch between January 17 and February 6.
Son Archie, who broke into the Somerset side as an all-rounder last season, has now been handed the same honour for the forthcoming tour of South Africa.
