Anvay has also shown promise with both bat and gloves. He scored 38 off just 18 deliveries in the first Australia ODI and earlier smashed 87 off 67 balls against Sri Lanka in July.
With the 2028 Under-19 World Cup on the horizon, the Asia Cup offers both youngsters an important opportunity to establish themselves.
