It really saddens me that almost every other country is regularly playing U-19 and A cricket whereas our last A team tour was to Zimbabwe in Oct 2016 and I dont think we have played any U-19 international cricket for almost a year (correct me if wrong). On the other hand, U-19 teams of Zim, SA and WI are currently playing a tri-series. U-19 team of Ind is on tour of Eng. There is an A team tri series happening between Ind, SA and Afg. We all know SL and Ban teams have frequent U-19 and A tours. While I understand that hosting such type of series in UAE is a predicament, but what stops us from touring other countries. And for home tours, we could use SL as a venue if UAE is too costly even for one series per year. I guess it all boil downs to lack of awareness, lobbying and initiative by concerned authorities at PCB. There is an under-19 WC next year, what is being done to develop that team except for meaningless domestic competitions. And similarly, how can you expect to develop replacements for Misbah and Younis and others if we dont play competitive A cricket. If anyone knows when is our next A tour or U-19 tour, please share.
