Ricky Bhui, who led the India team yesterday to U-19 tri-series title by beating Bangladesh in the final, would continue to captain the side in next month's tri-series as well, also involving England.
The junior selectors have left out Pradeep Pramanik, Shubham Nayak, Izhan Sayeed from the team that won the title yesterday.
There are three experienced players in the squad -- Bhui, Sarfaraz Khan and Avesh Khan -- all of whom played the last 2014 World Cup in Dubai.
Elegant Chennai batsman Washington Sundar will be another batsman to look out for.
Attacking batsman Sarfaraz, who struck a 59 not out from 27 balls, to be awarded the man-of-the-match in India's win in the final will be a key player.
Lower down the order, the likes of Virat Singh, Ishan Kishan, Anmolpreet Singh and Amandeep Khare are expected to take charge.
Indore pacer Avesh will lead the pace battery, which will also have the leftarm duo of Kanishk Seth and Khaleel Ahmed along with utility seamer Shubham Mavi.
The Lankan tour will be the colts' second International assignment ahead of the U-19 World Cup, to be held in Bangladesh from January 22-February 14.
The squad: Ricky Bhui (c), Rishabh Pant, Yogesh Sharma, Kanishk Seth, Amandeep Khare, Mayank Dagar, Avesh Khan, Ishan Kishan, Virat Singh, Rahul Batham, Anmolpreet Singh, Mahipal Lomror, Syed Khaleel Ahmed, Washington Sundar, Sarfaraz Khan, Zeeshan Ansari, Shubham Mavi, Himanshu Rana.
