Archie Vaughan secures ‘special moment’ with captaincy for England Under-19s Vaughan will lead England in South Africa with the Under-19s, following in his father Michael Vaughan’s footsteps.
Somerset all-rounder Archie Vaughan has revealed receiving the news he is to captain England Under-19s during their tour of South Africa “was a very special moment”.
The tour sees England’s Young Lions play three youth one-day internationals and two youth Tests against South Africa Under-19s, starting on 14 January.
The son of former England captain Michael played four first-class and seven 50-over matches for Somerset last season, having made his debut for the county in July.
The 19-year-old, who signed his first pro contract at Somerset last May, averaged 33.71 with the bat in the County Championship and proved a valuable option with his off-spin, taking 15 wickets including two five-wicket hauls.
