Somerset all-rounder Archie Vaughan, the son of former captain Michael Vaughan, will captain the England Men U19 team for the first time on their upcoming tour of South Africa.
Vaughan will lead an 18-man squad across three Youth ODIs and two Youth Test matches.
The squad will fly out on Thursday 9 January with the opening Youth ODI at Cape Town on Friday 17 January.
The two-match Test series begins in Stellenbosch on Sunday 26 January before the second Youth Test in Cape Town starting Monday 3 February.
Young Lions Head Coach, Michael Yardy, said: “After putting in a lot of purposeful work on a really good camp before Christmas, we get the opportunity to play against South Africa Under-19s, which will be very exciting for the boys competing in an England shirt.”
