National Under-19 Championship 2021-22 Discussion

[OMB]

Lahore, 5 October 2021:

Twelve sides of six Cricket Associations will participate in the three-day National U19 Championship and one-day National U19 Cup, which will be held across six venues of Punjab from 10 October to 19 November. The three-day games will be followed by one-day fixtures, with a day’s gap between the two matches.

Six Whites squads have been placed in Pool A and will play their matches in Gujranwala, Muridke and Sialkot, while the remaining six Blues squads are in Pool B with their matches scheduled at Rawalpindi and Islamabad’s Shoaib Akhtar Cricket Academy, National Ground and Shalimar Cricket Ground.

The Pakistan Cricket Board, this season, has allowed each Cricket Association to field two sides. This has been done to allow talented youngsters the opportunity to stake claims in Pakistan squad for next year’s ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2022, besides increasing the pool of players at the grassroots level with the very best talent to be identified, nurtured and trained at the National High Performance Centre.

Meanwhile, following merit-based trials, the 12 squads for the two tournaments have been confirmed. Performance of players in the City Cricket Association two-day and 50-over tournaments were also taken into consideration.

The squads also include 32 players who attended an eight-week High Performance Camp at Karachi’s Hanif Mohammad High Performance Centre under the supervision of head coach Ijaz Ahmed.

The camp not only provided extensive practice, training and scenario-based match practice to the probables, it also furnished valuable exposure in a High Performance camp environment.

There has to be some kind of Problem no player from Jaffarabad in Balochistan where maximum Baloch talent was coming in U-19 , is this some kind of political thing?

Also looks like no talent hunt was done in Gilgit and Baltistan

Hurraira should be topping the batting charts

 

[Bewal Express]

If you to create quality then provide thesed young players the best possible wickets and lots of opportunities to play. As many of you know I am not a big fan of coaching at the higher levels because its mostly a scam but if someone like YK or MY worked with the best talent, it could only help.

 

[b.lesner]

Hurraira should be topping the batting charts

I don't think it is that Huraira because he would be overage and it in northern 2nd XI team and this it has been written in brackets Lasbela so he is someone from that region.

The three-day National U19 Championship and one-day National U19 Cup will commence on Sunday across six venues in which country’s around best 200 cricketers born on or after 1 September 2002 will get an opportunity to display their talent and move up the domestic cricket ladder.

The six Cricket Associations will field two sides of 16 players each who will play in the three-day game, which, after a day’s gap, will be followed by a 50-over fixture. As such, the teenagers will experience two formats over a five-day period, which will help them to learn to adjust, adopt and tweak their game as per the required format.

The 12 squads comprise players who either impressed the selectors with their performances in the recently-held City Cricket Association 50-over tournaments or through open and merit-based trials. Also part of the squads are the 32 players who attended an eight-week High Performance Camp at Karachi’s Hanif Mohammad High Performance Centre under the supervision of head coach Ijaz Ahmed.

The three-day National U19 Championship and one-day National Cup will also provide the PCB scouts, coaches and selectors with an opportunity to unearth the hidden talent and bring them into the national framework, thus, increasing the pool of players at the domestic level, including for next year’s ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2022 West Indies.

With the PCB offering lucrative domestic contracts, there is further incentive for the teenager cricketers to demonstrate the talent and potential they have and try to vie for these contracts, which is a pathway to higher rewards and recognition.

Six Whites squads have been placed in Pool A and will play their matches in Gujranwala, Muridke and Sialkot, while the remaining six Blues squads are in Pool B with their matches scheduled at Rawalpindi’s Shoaib Akhtar Cricket Academy and Islamabad’s National Ground and Shalimar Cricket Ground.

First round fixtures (10-12 Oct three-day match, 14 Oct 50-over match):

Pool A - Balochistan (W)-Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (W), Jinnah Stadium, Sialkot; Central Punjab (W)-Sindh (W), Jinnah Stadium, Gujranwala; Northern (W)-Southern Punjab (W), Country Club, Muridke.

Pool B - Balochistan (B)-Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (B), Shoaib Akhtar Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi; Central Punjab (B)-Sindh (B), National Ground, Islamabad; Northern (B)-Southern Punjab (B), Shalimar Cricket Ground; Islamabad

 

[Bewal Express]

Until the fake age issue is solved, we will never get the real young talent to come through. The majority of the players will be over age, some upto 4 yrs. This effectively is an U23 tournament and seen in that light, the standard will be very poor. I feel sorry for the genuine U19s to be lumped in with these fixers.

Lahore, 11 October 2021: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Whites’ Abbas Ali has been reprimanded for showing dissent at an umpire’s decision during his side’s three-day match against Balochistan Whites in the ongoing National U19 Championship 2021-22 at Sialkot’s Jinnah Stadium.

Abbas committed a level 1 offence when he showed excessive disappointment after his appeal for a catch at slip was turned down after consultation between the two on-field umpires and said the fielder had taken a ‘clear catch’. As such, he was found guilty of violating Article 2.8 of the PCB Code of Conduct for Player and Player Support Personnel.

Abbas accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Ghulam Mustafa. The charges were levelled by on-field umpires Nasar Khan and Kamran Khalil.

Along with Shazad PK will have some good spinners of all varieties. And if Zeeshans action is clean( my lad saw him on YouTube and immediately said chucker) he is very quick and an excellent prospect. Add to this, young batsman like Faseeh and Haseebullah, we have a good chance
