What's new

India (195/6) beat England (189) by 4 wickets to be crowned 2022 U19 Cricket World Cup champions

I was bit worried about this game since Kohli gave them a pep talk. I thought his bad luck will rub onto the team. Thank God...it didnt :))
 
Indian captains to win U19 World Cup:

Mohammad Kaif - 2000.
Virat Kohli - 2008.
Unmukt Chand - 2012.
Prithvi Shaw - 2018.
Yash Dhull - 2022.
 
Good to see we won a world cup under Ganguly's administration. I am proud being a Bengali.
 
The U-19 class of 2022 has completed the most prolific World Cup win among all India batches. Six wins. 60 wickets. Not a single game where they were behind the game.
 
A great achievement for a team that was badly laid down by Covid. India's domestic structure and pipeline is very strong
 
Excellent team work. England is a very tough side to beat. India almost beat them convincingly.
 
 
I have big hopes for the 2018 and 2022 winning teams bcoz there are genuine U-19 teams thanks to the strict age checking by BCCI

Hope some of them will make it big
 
We have moved towards having more multi dimensional cricketers at this level atleast. Some clutch performances
 
There was COVID cases inside the team, Captain, vice-captain missed few games, backup players arrived from India but this team stayed strong with the tough mentality and won all the matches.

<b>U19 World Cup: India beat England by four wickets despite Rew defiance</b>

India U19 won by 4 wkts

ENGU19 - 189 (44.5)
INDU19 - 195/6 (47.4)

James Rew hit a magnificent 95 but England's batting let them down as India won the U19 Men's World Cup for the fifth time with a four-wicket victory in Antigua.

Rew's knock, off 116 balls including 12 fours, helped England recover from an early collapse to post 189 all out as India seamers Raj Bawa (5-31) and Ravi Kumar (4-34) wreaked havoc.

England, playing in their first final at this level for 24 years, had India wobbling at 97-4 as James Sales struck twice to remove two key wickets including Shaik Rasheed, who made a half-century.

Bawa (35) helped put India within striking distance before Nishant Sindhu got the done for India with an unbeaten half-century.
 
Good win.

But no player seems to have it to make it big like previous batches had.

Some guys will get games but don't seem to have that X Factor

That's actually good. The X factor, much hyped guys disappoint more when they fail at higher level.
I would be more happy if few of this team members do the hard work and make a place in main team.

Btw I think Rasheed can be good test batsman and Bawa an all-rounder.
And wouldn't be surprised if Dhull too make a name for himself.
 
 
Raj Bawa is player-of-the-match in India's U19 World Cup Final win. 74 years ago, his grandfather Trilochan Singh Bawa won a gold medal in Hockey in the London Olympics (1948)
 
South Africa's Dewald Brevis is the Player of the Tournament at the #U19WorldCup2022.
Going by the past winners, he has a massive future ahead

Few of 'em.:
Yuvraj,
Taibu,
Dhawan,
Pujara,
Southee,
Markram,
Mehidy,
Shubman
 
India best team in the tournament.

Any thoughts on stars of the future from this squad?

Most of the names will be forgotten very soon.

From last WC,only Bishnoi,Tyagi and Jaiswal have progressed. Can you remember other names?

Bawa and Hangarekar will get IPL money. How they handle this will decide their careers
 
This was the same Indian team that we beat in Asia Cup! India have really improved their game since the last month and that showed through the tournament. This is how champion teams play. They build the momentum through the tournament and land the knock out punches when utmost required. Congratulations India.
 
This is why Indian cricket is in good hands for the future. India were by far a cut above the rest of the teams in this tournament.
 
India beat England by four wickets to win their fifth ICC Under 19 Men’s Cricket World Cup in the West Indies.

The two unbeaten sides met at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground in Antigua and Barbuda as England went in search of only their second title, but it was India who extended their record of most tournament wins.

Raj Bawa took five for 31 as England lost wickets early in their innings before 95 from James Rew restored hope in the push for a first trophy since 1998.

It was not to be as both Shaik Rasheed and Nishant Sindhu made fifties before Dinesh Bana crashed back-to-back sixes to seal the win.

India dominate England to add another trophy to their cabinet

England won the toss and chose to bat with their second-highest run-scorer Jacob Bethell alongside George Thomas who had made a courageous 52 in their semi-final win over Afghanistan.

It was a shaky start for Bethell who survived an appeal for caught behind in the second over but fell three balls later as he was dismissed leg before wicket by Ravi Kumar for two.

Captain Tom Prest came in at number three but could not add to his 292 runs as he went for a four-ball duck, England’s first of the tournament.

Thomas was not deterred by the loss of two of his side’s key wickets as he played attractive strokes and earned a brief reprieve having been dropped on 26.

But he too got out before he could have any real impact, caught by Yash Dhull off the bowling of Raj Bawa for 27.

James Rew then put his hand up to be England’s potential saviour, staying put as wickets fell around him, none of the Young Lions middle order able to add more than ten to the total as they slipped to 91 for seven.

It was left to James Sales to work with Rew to put on England’s highest stand of their innings, adding 93 runs to the total before Rew cruelly missed out on his century.

He was caught by Kaushal Tambe for 95 from 116 balls having hit 12 sixes and almost singlehandedly given England a fighting chance.

Sales was left stranded on 34 not out as the tail wagged – England were all out for 189 from 44.5 overs as Bawa claimed five for 31, with Kumar almost equally as impressive with four for 34.

India’s chase of their modest target got off to the worst possible start as Angkrish Raghuvanshi was caught behind for a second-ball duck, with the right-hander unable to move past Prest to the third-highest run-scorer in the competition.

The Men in Blue were able to score at a sedate rate, with Harnoor Singh adding 21 from 46 balls before he too was caught behind.

Shaik Rasheed and Dhull looked to repeat their 204-run partnership they put on against Australia in the semi-final, as Rasheed brought up his fifty from 83 balls.

However, Sales and Rew combined again this time to dismiss the right-hander with the very next delivery.

England detected a chink in the Indian armour, and in Sales’ next over Dhull was caught by George Bell who wheeled away in celebration knowing two new batters were at the crease.

However, Nishant Sandhu and Bawa, who has the highest individual score of the tournament with 162 not out, moved India to 164 before Bawa became the fifth wicket to fall.

It was going to take something special to defeat India even now as the required runs ticked down to 14 from 23 balls.

And something special did arrive, Rehan Ahmed sticking out a hand to stop a near-certain maximum and dismiss Tambe to leave India on 176 for six.

But with Sandhu at the crease, England’s task always seemed difficult, he crashed four runs to relieve the pressure England had been building before taking a single to bring up his first half-century in international cricket.

Dinesh Bana was in the mood to get the trophy in his hands as early as possible smashing a six off his toes to bring the scores level.

Another six followed in the next ball as Bana's teammates raced onto the pitch before the ball had even crossed the rope, knowing victory and the trophy was theirs.

Vicky ostwal will be our replacement for rav jads, Hopefully Hangar, Ravi and Bawa keep fit, keep learning and keep performing. We need their types of bowlers - pace, LH and all round skills. Am sure Dinesh Bana will be keeping Rishabh and Ishan on their toes. Shaik rasheed and yash dhull - awesome too. all in all these guys shold show the mental resilience to progress to the next level.
Cheers India :ds
 
Great win boys!

Well done! Didn't allow even one team to reach even 200 during the tournament, won all our games with ease except the final.

What a team!
 
Heard Rasheed was beneficiary of being taken under wings of AP cricket academy (under former chairman of selectors MSK Prasad) which took care of his schooling, lodging, meals, his cricket gear everything right from his formative years as father was from a really humble background.

He was even sent to UK for 2 years by the academy which made massive difference to him as a cricketer and as a person!

Hats off to MSK for making difference at grassroots level even though he had such a disastrous reign as our chairman of selectors.
 
The Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah on Sunday announced an INR 40 lakh reward for every player of the U19 World Cup-winning team. India lifted a record fifth U19 World Cup title after defeating England in the summit clash here at the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium on Saturday. Shah also said that every member of the support staff will be getting INR 25 lakh. “I am pleased to announce the reward of 40 lacs per player and 25 lacs per support staff for the U19 #TeamIndia contingent for their exemplary performance in the #U19CWC final. You have made India proud,” tweeted Shah.

In another tweet, Shah said: “Congratulations #BoysInBlue on winning the @ICC U19 World Cup. This is a Very Very Special @VVSLaxman281 win against all odds. Each of our youngsters has shown the heart and temperament needed to make history in these trying times #INDvENG #U19CWCFinal.”

The Yash Dhull-led side defeated the Three Lions in the summit clash by four wickets. Earlier, India had won the U19 World Cup in 2000, 2008, 2012, and 2018.

Taking to Twitter, BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal said: “What an amazing performance by India U-19 team [MENTION=14959]bcci[/MENTION] to win the #Under19WorldCup2022. The team remained unbeaten throughout the tournament and displayed amazing teamwork and prospects. Well played Rajangad Bawa, Ravi Kumar, Shaik Rasheed, and Nishant Sindhu.”

While that’s defn true, Mumbai lobby is very strong.. just saying sometimes this is how balance is got.
 
Didnt know coach was Kanitkar - the guy who hit that 4 against Pakistan during Independence Cup Final in 1998, it was some highest chase of 312 that time

The guy was never even seen after that

Now this I like, heard he was very poor - good on him and now family will be getting 40 lakhs. Feel so happy for such people
 
What a performance from Raj Bawa and Nishant Sindhu. Amazing win for India!
 
Raja Bawa and Dinesh Bana are the ones to watch out for. Should play for India at some point.

Now that you say this, it looked a lot like Yuvraj....

Yeah, a lot of worthy players from other parts of India have not been able to play for India courtesy Mumbai lobby.
 
A few from this team can maybe get some IPL games. Not sure if there's anyone who's international quality other than Raj Bawa (and that too, purely because India has all-rounder issues in white-ball cricket).

Rasheed looks classy, but you sometimes see players like him around, who don't move to the next level. Captain Yash looks like he's made for IPL and that's about it.

Of course, these expert opinions are only on the basis of watching the final, and that too, highlights :rahat1

Agree with pretty much everything but Dinesh Bana is a very clean striker, no slogging ..I can see him make the india team even ahead of pant in 2-3 years
 
The ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup is over after three weeks of sensational cricket featuring some stunning batting from potential future superstars of the game. We take a look at the top run-scorers from the tournament.

TOURNAMENT STATS

DEWALD BREVIS – SOUTH AFRICA

506 runs in six innings
Two centuries and three half-centuries
High score of 138
Average 84.33
Strike-rate 90.19

South Africa’s Dewald Brevis, nicknamed ‘Baby AB’, was the standout candidate for Player of the Tournament and a worthy winner of the award.

The 18-year-old was utterly dominant with the bat in hand and could very easily have had four centuries to his name across six matches, falling just three runs short of a ton vs England and four runs shy against Ireland.

It wasn’t just the volume of runs that Brevis scored that helped him stand out, but the manner in which he did so. He has all the shots in the book, but also displayed the composure to know when to go on the attack and when to rein himself back in.


HASEEBULLAH KHAN – PAKISTAN

380 runs in six innings
Two centuries and one half-century
High score of 136
Average 76
Strike-rate 80.85


Pakistan’s classy left-handed bookended his tournament with massive centuries.

He got his World Cup off to a terrific start with an imperious 135 against Zimbabwe in the group stage, before slightly dropping off for the next three matches.

But Khan showed that his phenomenal start to the campaign was no fluke, top-scoring in a run-chase against Bangladesh with 79 and then finishing his tournament in style.

The wicketkeeper-batter’s 136 against Sri Lanka was overshadowed by his captain’s fireworks at the other end, but was an innings dripping with quality.

TOM PREST – ENGLAND

292 runs in six innings
One century and one half-century
High score of 154*
Average 58.40
Strike-rate 102.45

England’s captain already has some big-game experience for his county under his belt, and showed why he’s tipped for great things with one of the biggest individual scores of the tournament.

His unbeaten 154* against the UAE was a sumptuous innings, coming just two days after he’d stroked 93 against Canada.

Prest will depart the tournament with a few regrets about not contributing with the bat in the final, but over the course of England’s campaign he played a big part in helping them to the final, chipping in with five wickets along the way too and bowling in all six matches.

TEAGUE WYLLIE – AUSTRALIA

278 runs in six innings
One century and two half-centuries
High score of 101*
Average 69.50
Strike-rate 73.15

Australia’s star opener enjoyed an outstanding group stage, scoring an unbeaten 86 to get his campaign off to a flying start in the win over West Indies.

The fluent right-hander confirmed his quality with a brilliant 101* against Scotland to help send his side through into the Super League knockout stage.

Wyllie played a big role in the quarter-final win over Pakistan too, scoring a sprightly 71 at the top of the order.

But he couldn’t quite keep that spectacular momentum going, missing out on significant scores against India in the semi-final and against Afghanistan in the third-place playoff.

ANGKRISH RAGHUVANSHI – INDIA

278 runs in six innings
One century and one half-century
High score of 144
Average 46.33
Strike-rate 89.38

When a player is young even for U19 level you know he’s a real talent, and that is the case with India’s 16-year-old opener Raghuvanshi.

The youngster from Delhi has a lot of developing still to do, but on the evidence of this campaign he could be ready now.

With a number of the leading players in the squad ruled out of parts of the group stage due to Covid-19, Raghuvanshi stepped up, hitting 79 against Ireland and a wonderful 144 against Uganda.

His 44 against Bangladesh in the quarter-finals just further highlighted why Raghuvanshi is a player to keep an eye on in the coming years.

BRIAN BENNETT – ZIMBABWE

273 runs in six innings
Three half-centuries
High score of 83
Average 45.50
Strike-rate 84.52

The Bennett brothers were the success story for Zimbabwe at the tournament, with David and Brian both excelling.

It was Brian who out-scored his twin, racking up 273 runs across his six matches and scoring significantly right throughout the tournament.

His 83 against Pakistan and 62 against West Indies were particularly encouraging, and Bennett will have his eye on full Zimbabwe honours before too long, as will his brother.

DUNITH WELLALAGE – SRI LANKA

264 runs in six innings
One century and one half-century
High score of 113
Average 44
Strike-rate 70.40

The raw numbers from Dunith Wellalage are impressive enough, but they don’t tell the whole story.

The Sri Lanka captain produced the majority of his 264 runs when under pressure, helping rescue his team on a number of occasions.

His half-century against Australia came after the Sri Lankan top four had all fallen cheaply in the run chase, with Wellalage top-scoring as his side reached the target in impressive fashion.

His 113 against South Africa came after the loss of three wickets in the Powerplay that had threatened to derail the innings, while his 34 from number eight in the quarter-final against Afghanistan was his team’s top-score and very nearly saw them snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

He was also the small matter of the tournament’s leading wicket-taker with 17 dismissals via his outstanding left-arm spin.

RAJ BAWA – INDIA

252 runs in five innings
One century
High score of 162*
Average 63
Strike-rate 100.80

The Player of the Match in the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup Final, Raj Bawa has put his name up in lights.

That award was largely down to his efforts with the ball, but he is a fine batter too. He showcased that with the biggest individual score of the tournament by any player, an unbeaten 162* against Uganda.

His 42 against Ireland and composed 35 in the final were also eye-catching. Bawa is one to watch.

There were some standout performers with the ball at the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2022. We take a look at the top wicket-takers at the tournament.

TOURNAMENT STATS

DUNITH WELLALAGE – SRI LANKA

17 wickets in six matches
Best figures of 5/27
Average 13.58
Economy 4.20

Sri Lanka’s left-arm off-spinner generates good turn and flight and displayed nice control throughout the tournament.

As captain he put himself on to bowl at tricky times, delivering good figures in all except the fifth-place playoff against Pakistan, where all the bowlers went the distance.

His five-wicket hauls against Scotland and Australia in the group stage stood out, and of course he was his team’s top-scorer with the bat too.

JOSH BOYDEN – ENGLAND

15 wickets in six matches
Best figures of 4/16
Average 9.86
Economy 3.21

The highest quick bowler on this list and a dead-cert for team of the tournament, England’s Josh Boyden was brilliant.

The left-arm quick took lots of his wickets in the Powerplay, consistently helping his side get off to a good start with the ball.

And he was often held back to then bowl at well-set partnerships or towards the death overs, making his economy rate of just 3.21 even more impressive.

Still just 17 years old, Boyden has a bright future.

AWAIS ALI – PAKISTAN

15 wickets in six matches
Best figures of 6/56
Average 15.80
Economy 4.67

Pakistan’s right-arm medium pacer got off to a terrific start with six wickets against Zimbabwe.

But he showed that was no fluke, consistently delivering with the ball throughout the remainder of the tournament and playing a big role in his team’s bowling strategy.

RIPON MONDOL – BANGLADESH

14 wickets in six matches
Best figures of 4/24
Average 15
Economy 4.22

Bangladesh’s right-arm medium pace bowler was quietly excellent despite his side’s disappointing defence of their title.

And Mondol showed that there’s plenty of substance behind the numbers with excellent figures of 4/31 against the eventual champions India in the quarter-final.

JUMA MIYAJI – UGANDA

13 wickets in five matches
Best figures of 4/25
Average 17.76
Economy 5.13

Uganda’s 18-year-old pace bowler was their stand-out player of the tournament.

With a smooth action that extracts plenty from the pitch, Miyaji proved a tricky proposition for the majority of opponents.

And he finished on a high with four-fors against Papua New Guinea and Scotland.

REHAN AHMED – ENGLAND

12 wickets in four matches
Best figures of 4/30
Average 12.58
Economy 4.19

England’s big-turning leggie was a wicket-taking threat throughout his four matches.

The 17-year-old puts a lot of action on the ball and produced some jaw-dropping deliveries at times, tricking numerous batters with his flight and dip as well as the substantial turn.

England used Ahmed as one of their main attacking weapons, while often also choosing to utilise him at crunch moments, even at the death – successfully so against Afghanistan.

VICKY OSTWAL – INDIA

12 wickets in six matches
Best figures of 5/28
Average 13.33
Economy 3.63

The India left-arm orthodox spinner didn’t catch the eye as much as many on this list, but his quiet brilliance could perhaps indicate qualities that make him likely to go far in the game.

Ostwal seemed to have the ball on a string, exerting complete control over opponents, as illustrated by his excellent economy rate.

He could have picked up far more than 12 wickets, such was the quality of his bowling.

WILL SALZMANN – AUSTRALIA

12 wickets in six matches
Best figures of 3/37
Average 19.41
Economy 4.73

Australia’s fiery right-armer was a player of moments as much as statistics.

Some of his dismissals were astonishing moments of brilliance, and to have wicket-taking deliveries like that up his sleeve will serve him extremely well in the future.

Yash Dhull named captain of the Official ICC Upstox Most Valuable Team of the Tournament

The Upstox Most Valuable Team of the Tournament has been named with victorious captain Yash Dhull chosen to skipper a line-up of future stars.

Yash Dhull of India reacts during the ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup Final match between England and India at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on February 05, 2022 in Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda.

The Upstox Most Valuable Team of the Tournament has been named with victorious captain Yash Dhull chosen to skipper a line-up of future stars.

Overall, eight nations are represented in the 12-strong line up as champions India lead the way with three players included.

Pace is provided by the likes of Josh Boyden, Awais Ali and Ripon Mondol with all-rounders Tom Prest and Dunith Wellalage the spin options alongside Vicky Ostwal.

South Africa’s Dewald Brevis was announced as the Player of the Tournament for the ICC Under 19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2022 in West Indies for his record-breaking run haul.

The side was pulled together by a selection panel including commentators Samuel Badree, Natalie Germanos, ICC Match Referee Graeme Labrooy and journalist Sandipan Banerjee.

The team of the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2022 (in batting order) is:

Haseebullah Khan (WK, Pakistan)
Teague Wyllie (Australia)
Dewald Brevis (South Africa)
Yash Dhull (Captain, India)
Tom Prest (England)
Dunith Wellalage (Sri Lanka)
Raj Bawa (India)
Vicky Ostwal (India)
Ripon Mondol (Bangladesh)
Awais Ali (Pakistan)
Josh Boyden (England)
Noor Ahmad (Afghanistan)

Yash Dhull, who captained India to the ICC Under 19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2022, has been named as skipper of the Upstox Most Valuable Team of the Tournament.

The right-hander takes up his place at number four having hit 229 runs in the competition, including one century, and his deployment of his bowlers was crucial in leading his side to overall victory in the tournament.

His opposite number in the final, England’s Tom Prest, sits one place below them in the batting order of the Upstox Most Valuable Team of the Tournament having hit 292 runs in six games, the third most of the competition.

Dewald Brevis, a right-handed batter, received the accolade of Player of the Tournament after crashing 506 runs across six matches to become only the second player to hit over 500 runs at an Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup.

In doing so, the 18-year-old passed Indian legend Shikhar Dhawan’s total for the most runs in a single tournament, hitting one more run than Dhawan managed in 2004.

Brevis also took seven wickets in the competition returning best figures of 2-18 against Uganda during the group stages.

Haseebullah Khan from Pakistan is named as one of the openers after scoring 380 runs across the U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup, his high score of 136 one of two centuries he made in the tournament, Brevis was the only other batter to make two centuries.

Haseebullah is also selected as the wicketkeeper having taken eight catches and two stumpings, the fourth best return of the competition.

His opening partner is Australia’s Teague Wyllie who tied with Angkrish Raghuvanshi for 278 runs, the joint fourth-most of the tournament.

Wyllie hit 39 fours, the second most, including eight in his 101 not out against Scotland, one of three fifty-plus scores in the tournament.

Dunith Wellalage earns his place in the middle order after a star turn as an all-rounder hitting the most runs for Sri Lanka in the tournament with 264, also taking the most wickets by any bowler with 17.

Wellalage also captained his Sri Lanka side to sixth place, their best result in three editions, and he was the only bowler to take two fivefers, doing so against Scotland and Australia.

Raj Bawa is another all-rounder who has impressed throughout the World Cup, hitting a tournament-high 162 not out against Uganda, on his way to 252 runs for the competition.

Bawa was Player of the Match in the final against England taking five for 31 to put India in a strong position and take his wicket tally to nine.

Just below him in the line-up is teammate Vicky Ostwal who took 12 wickets across his six matches with his left-arm orthodox including five for 28 against South Africa.

Bangladesh’s representative in the team comes in the form of right-arm seamer Ripon Mondol, who took wickets in all but one of Bangladesh’s games.

And, against Canada and India he took four-fers to end the tournament on 14 wickets, the joint third-highest of the 2022 competition.

The other bowler who sits above him in the wicket standings is Awais Ali of Pakistan who claimed 15 wickets in his six matches, including six for 56, one of only two six-fers in the tournament.

The right-arm medium pacer opened up the tournament with those six wickets against Zimbabwe and was consistent as Pakistan finished in the top five for the fifth consecutive competition.

England’s Josh Boyden earns his place for his extremely economical bowling, chalking up 15 wickets in the tournament with an economy of 3.21 and an average of 9.86, the best in the tournament for any bowler with seven wickets or more.

The final name on the team sheet is Afghanistan’s Noor Ahmad. The all-rounder took wickets in every World Cup game on his way to 10 wickets, with best figures of two for 18 against Papua New Guinea.

Although it wouldnt have made any difference to the result yesterday, Eng erred badly by not picking Josh Baker. Baker would have been one of the most accurate spinners in the tournament.
 
For once our openers were not the best which is a good sign honestly!
 
The 2022 ICC Men's U19 World Cup concluded with India lifting the trophy for the fifth time on Saturday 5 February.

HOSTS OF U19 ICC GLOBAL EVENTS UNTIL 2027 ANNOUNCED


The International Cricket Council (ICC) Board has approved Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Thailand, Zimbabwe and Namibia and Bangladesh and Nepal as the host countries of the ICC U19 events from 2024-2027.

The ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024 will be hosted by Sri Lanka whilst the 2026 edition will be staged in Zimbabwe and Namibia. The ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup 2025 will be held in Malaysia and Thailand, and the 2027 U19 Women’s event will be jointly hosted by Bangladesh and Nepal.

The hosts were selected via a competitive bidding process overseen by a Board sub-committee chaired by Martin Snedden. The ICC Board accepted the recommendations of the committee who conducted a thorough review of each bid along with ICC management.

The qualification pathway for the 10-team ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 was approved. Eight teams will qualify for the event automatically comprising the top three teams from each group from the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023, the host Bangladesh (if not in the top three of Group 1) and the next highest ranked teams on the MRF Tyres ICC T20I Rankings on 27 February 2023. The remaining two teams will be identified through the 10-team ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Global Qualifier.

The qualification pathway for the 14-team ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027 was also decided with ten teams gaining automatic qualification. The ten will comprise South Africa and Zimbabwe as Full Member hosts and the next eight highest ranked teams on the ICC MRF Tyres ODI Rankings on a date to be confirmed. The remaining four teams will qualify via the ICC CWC Global Qualifier.

The Board received an update from the Afghanistan Working Group detailing a recent meeting with a representative of the Afghanistan government and the Afghanistan Cricket Board in Doha. The government official reiterated their commitment to fully respect and comply with the ICC constitution, in particular the need for diversity and inclusivity and for the ACB to operate independent from government interference.

Afghanistan Working Group Chair Imran Khwaja said: “The meeting was positive and respectful and the government representative was clear in his support for the ICC constitution including in principle for women’s cricket in Afghanistan. There are obviously challenges for it to resume but we will continue to work with the ACB to take this forward.

“The Working Group will closely monitor the commitment undertaken by the Afghanistan government and will continue to report back to the ICC Board.”

BCCI Honorary Secretary Jay Shah will become Chair of the Finance and Commercial Affairs Committee replacing Cricket Ireland’s Ross McCollum who has stepped down from the role.

I believe there are 2 separate super 6 groups. Top 2 in each group goes to the semis.
 
As the sun sets on a thrilling first edition of the ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup, cricket fans craving a glimpse at the next generation of superstars can look forward to a busy pathway event schedule as attention now turns towards the next U19 event, the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024, in Sri Lanka.

While Grace Scrivens, Shweta Sehrawat and Maggie Clarke recently made a name for themselves in South Africa at the inaugural ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup, the U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup can also boast top names that have been introduced onto the world stage at the event; notably Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson, and the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy winner in the recently announced ICC Awards 2022, Babar Azam.

The 16-team event returns to Sri Lanka for the first time since 2006. 41 matches will take place from January 2024, taking in two round-robin stages – an initial four groups of four teams, and a subsequent Super 6 stage from which the Semi Finalists will be determined.

The hosts are currently one of 11 teams already qualified for the event by virtue of being the best-placed ICC Full Member nations at the previous edition in 2022, with the remaining five nations due to compete for a place throughout a busy 2023 calendar.

Qualification for the final five places began in 2022 with Division Two Qualifiers taking place in the Asia, East-Asia Pacific and Europe regions. This stage helped decide the final teams lined up to battle it out at the Regional Qualifier stage, held in each of the five ICC regions, where the winning country in each will seal a place at the landmark event.

Speaking on the crunch pathway events due to take place before Sri Lanka 2024, ICC Head of Events, Chris Tetley commented, “The success of the recently concluded ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup demonstrates how important these events are for cultivating the next generation of talented cricketers that will take the game to new levels.

“As well as welcoming new competing nations during this pathway, qualification for the 2024 edition has already witnessed the competitive standard of cricket that is evident around the world. I am sure that we will see more thrilling encounters in the coming months and that Sri Lanka 2024 will continue the rich legacy this event has in forging playing opportunities on the global stage for some of the most exciting young talent in the game.”

2023 Regional Qualifier Schedule:

The Asia Regional Qualifier is the first qualification event scheduled for 2023, and will be held in the United Arab Emirates from 24 February and 2 March. Hong Kong, Kuwait, Malaysia, Nepal and Singapore all join hosts UAE to do battle for a spot at the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024.

The EAP Regional Qualifier will take place in Australia between 12 to 21 June and see seven nations go head-to head. Fiji, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand, PNG, Samoa and Vanuatu will all be hoping to seal their place in Sri Lanka.

The next event will be the Africa Regional Qualifier, where six more teams will vie for a spot in Sri Lanka. Tanzania will host the event between 23 and 29 July where Division 2 qualifiers Kenya, Nigeria and Sierra Leone will feature together with Namibia, Uganda and Tanzania themselves.

The Europe Regional Qualifier will take place between 6 and 12 August in the Netherlands, where the hosts will welcome Jersey and Scotland, as well as successful qualifiers from the Division 2 stage, Guernsey, Italy and Norway.

Concluding the regional qualification stages, the Americas Regional Qualifier begins in Toronto, Canada, where the hosts will compete alongside Argentina, Bermuda, Suriname and the USA from 11 to 17 August.

ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024 Qualification Structure

16 teams will be competing at the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup Sri Lanka 2024 over 41 matches. 11 teams have automatically qualified for the event as the best-placed Full Member nations from the previous event in 2022. These are: Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, Ireland, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, West Indies and Zimbabwe.

The remaining five spots will be determined through regional qualification pathways, with one team from each region securing a place at the event.

Americas and EAP each host one qualifying event in 2023, with the winner of each event sealing a spot at the U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup Sri Lanka 2024.

The Africa, Asia and Europe regions each have a two-step qualification structure. These regions hosted Division 2 Qualifiers in 2022 to determine the teams that will compete in the second and final qualifying event, the Regional Qualifier, with events taking place in 2023.

Only the winning teams from the Regional Qualifiers will qualify to compete at the U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup Sri Lanka 2024.
