Archie Vaughan, the son of the former England player Michael Vaughan, has been named as the captain for the Under-19 side in England. He will lead England in the three youth ODI's and two youth tests in Cape Town and Stellenbosch against South Africa. The tour will be conducted between 17 January and 6 February. On getting the captaincy cap, Archie sounded overwhelmed. Earlier he broke into the Somerset side as an all-rounder. Bringing reference to his Somerset tenure, he said, “To get the opportunity to represent England at this level is really special in itself, but to lead the team out is something else. If someone had told me 12 months ago that I would have forced my way into the Somerset first team and be captaining the under-19s, I wouldn’t have believed them. It’s happened quickly, but I’m going to keep my feet on the ground and work harder and harder. The next step is to try and win in South Africa, and hopefully I can perform as well."
