Visakhapatnam Sept 18 (Online): Batsman Shreyas Iyer and pace bowler Chama Milind return to India Under-19s' limited-overs squad for the quadrangular series in Visakhapatnam later this month. Iyer, who also bowls part-time offspin, and new-ball bowler Milind had missed the one-day series against Sri Lanka in August - they had played the unofficial Tests though.

Batsman Vijay Zol will continue to lead the side. Zol has been enjoying a fine season as captain and batsman - he led the team to victory in a tri-series in Australia in July, then a drawn Test series in Sri Lanka where India enjoyed several periods of dominance and a 2-0 win in the three-match ODI series that followed. His previous seven innings across formats include three centuries and two fifties, including a hundred on first-class debut, for India A against New Zealand A, last month. The only new face in the team is Zol's fellow Maharashtrian Jagdish Jope.

Australia, South Africa and Zimbabwe comprise the other teams in the quadrangular, which kicks off on September 23.
