Samit was born on November 10, 2005, and is only two months away from celebrating his 19th birthday. By the time the U-19 WC comes around in 2026, he would be 21 by then and would hence not make the cut. India U-19 will play the three-match one-day series against Australia in Puducherry on September 21, 23 and 26. The Indian side would be led by Uttar Pradesh's Mohammad Amaan.
