Archie Vaughan, child of previous Captain Michael, set to lead Britain Under-19s world cup 2025

Archie Vaughan, son of former England captain Michael, is set to follow in his father's footsteps later this month, after being asked to lead England Under-19s on their tour of South Africa. Britain's Young Lions are because of play three youth one-day internationals and two youth Tests against South Africa Under-19s, from January 17. It is 20 years to the month since Vaughan senior turned into the main Britain skipper to win a Test series in South Africa in the post-Politically-sanctioned racial segregation time. "I figured out that I would have been skipper during the instructional course before Christmas and it was an extremely unique second," Vaughan, a top-request player and offspinner, said. "To get the chance to address Britain at this level is truly exceptional in itself, yet to lead the group out is something different." Having marked his most memorable expert agreement with Somerset in May, Vaughan made his region debut in July and shot to noticeable quality in the group's Title spat at Taunton in September. Pair with Jack Filter, he guaranteed match figures of 11 for 140 to beat association pioneers Surrey and momentarily flash any expectations of the club's most memorable title. Altogether, he played four top of the line and seven 50-over counterparts for Somerset, averaging 33.71 with the bat in the Title. He likewise dazzled at age-bunch level, making 85 from 83 balls for a Youthful Lions Invitational XI in a warm-up match against the Britain Under-19 ODI crew, for whom Rough Flintoff - child of Andrew Flintoff - top-scored with 106. "Assuming somebody had let me know a year prior that I would have constrained my direction into the Somerset first group and be captaining the Under-19s, I could never have trusted them," Vaughan added. "It's happened rapidly however I will keep my feet on the ground and work increasingly hard." Vaughan's dad proceeded to become one of the best Britain chiefs ever, with 26 triumphs in 51 Tests in control somewhere in the range of 2003 and 2008, including the 2005 Cinders win.
