 Steve Waugh's son Austin Waugh was included in the Australian U-19 cricket team's 15-man squad for the ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup that will be held in New Zealand next month, reports IANS.

Australia legend Steve Waugh's all-rounder son Austin Waugh was on Friday named in the 15-man squad, led by promising Jason Sangha, for the Under-19 World Cup to be held in New Zealand next month.

The squad also includes Will Sutherland, the Victorian all-rounder and son of Cricket Australia's Chief Executive James Sutherland, as the vice-captain.

Former Australia paceman Ryan Harris will coach the side assisted by former opener Chris Rogers during the three-week tournament.

Aiming to claim Australia's first title since the Mitchell Marsh-led side claimed the title in 2010, the 18-year-old Sangha will have the services of 18-year-old paceman Xavier Bartlett, Max Bryant, the opener and Param Uppal, among others, during the campaign.
