[VIDEOS] Pakistan Under-19s whitewash South Africa Under-19s 7-0 in One-Day series in SA

indeed we have few but my worry is virus is now transferred to u19 cricket who are hell bent of selecting "3D cricketer".there is no single genuine spinner in this u19 squad which is pretty disappointing to see .

bit and pieces allrounder won,t help us .Junior selector need to stop this useless trend of selecting players like nawaz,hassan khan,sulieman shafqat ,shadab and develop a spinner who is very good at spin bowling

Agree but we have full-time spinners like Gohar, Umer, Irfan Jr, Usama Mir, Hasan, waiting in the wings.

It’s a matter of not using them.
 
An unbeaten half-century from Haris Khan helped Pakistan to a seven-wicket triumph over the Coca-Cola South Africa under-19s in the seventh Youth One-Day International (ODI) in Chatsworth on Sunday.

The result means the visiting side end their tour to South Africa with a seven-nil series victory.

Khan smashed a 55-ball 69 (8 fours, 1 six) alongside teammate, Basit Ali (56 off 95 balls; 5 fours), as Pakistan cantered to a convincing win with 13.3 overs to spare in response to the SA under-19s’ rather modest total of 182/9 in 48 overs.

After winning the toss and electing to bat first, South Africa’s innings failed to find the required rhythm to post a competitive score, as they lost wickets at regular intervals. With only four scores above the 20-run mark, Bryce Parsons (37) top-scored for the hosts, while Jonathan Bird (29) and Andrew Louw (25) also got promising starts before failing to convert.

Khanya Cotani recorded an undefeated 36 off 61 balls as last man in, Lifa Ntanzi (4*), had to retire hurt after being hit in the head by a bouncer in the 48th over.

Mohammad Aamir led the charge with the ball for the sub-continent team, notching up figures of 3/40 while Khan (2/21) and Aamir Ali (2/27) also contributed.

Chasing the lowest target of the series, Pakistan made light work of their outing with the bat. Despite a period of sustained pressure from the South African youngsters built through consecutive dot balls, an 82-run partnership for the third wicket between Khan and Ali edged their side towards victory before a late cameo from Fahad Munir (21*) guided them over the line.

For his two wickets and a match-winning fifty, Khan received the Man of the Match award, while Pakistan captain, Rohail Nazir claimed the Player of the Series accolade for his commendable work behind the stumps and 318 runs, including four half-centuries.

The exciting Jonathan Bird finished the series as the highest run-scorer with 356 runs following his two centuries and one fifty, averaging 59.33 in the six matches he played.
 
Rohail looks an excellent prospect and from the bits I have seen a decent WK. He looks like to be Sarfrazs successor
 
I have noticed though that under 19 cricket teams of SA, Aus don’t appear to be the best, but an amazing domestic system turns them into world beaters.

Because they are genuinely under-19 and therefore have more time to develop from very young age.

Professionalism. They keep getting fitter and stronger whilst Asian players get complacent, plus yeah as mentioned above, no age fudging.

There is no full proof method to confirm age anywhere in the world. Wrist checks have been in place in Pak for some years as well which is standard everywhere.
 
Rohail isn't any good, man. What did you watch?

He has earned player of the series award in last 2 series'.
He's consistent there must be something in him. Ive seen him bat a bit in SL series looked compact to me. Has a decent technique and played good strokes against both spin and pace.Power hitting i am not too sure of. How he develops as player now remains to be seen.
 
Pakistan under 19

Can anyone please update their next tour if any? After 7-0 I have a question.Was our team that good or South Africa under 19 was just not good enough?

More than 7-0 white wash in SA, I will be happier to see if the team and the players like Haider and Naseem Shah perform well against some strong under 19 teams like India, BD and SL, and also Afghanistan under " 19" team in ACC under 19 cup next month.
 
PARSONS ON A MISSION FOR HIS COUNTRY

Thursday, 15 August 2019

Rising young star Bryce Parsons is happy to be getting the recognition he strives so hard to try and achieve and is hoping for a prosperous season ahead when he can break into the Gauteng Strikers team and help the South Africa Under-19 team prepare well for the forthcoming World Cup.

The talented 18-year-old was the big winner at the recent Cricket South Africa (CSA) Amateur Breakfast Awards, held in association with KFC, at the Maslow Times Square Hotel in Pretoria. The SA Under-19 captain was named Coca-Cola U19 Cricketer of the Year for his efforts with the national team and also collected the Coca-Cola Khaya Majola Cricket Week Player of the Tournament.

“To get recognition as a young cricketer in South Africa is great,” Parsons said. “It’s always good to see that your hard work has paid off.

“I was obviously really pleased to get the awards. The Coke Week one I expected because I was the Player of the Tournament in Cape Town. I thought I was at the breakfast for that award specifically, so to hear my name called up again for the SA U19 Cricketer of the Year was a shock.”

The all-rounder was a key part of Gauteng’s victorious Coke Week campaign, scoring 277 runs in six matches, including an incredible 129 not out off 115 balls on Day 4 against Northerns. He also took nine wickets with his left-arm spin.

His efforts subsequently earned him a maiden call-up to the national Under-19 side that toured India in February.

Despite not meeting his own high standards, he was still one of the best performers for his side, who lost the Test series 2-0 and won one out of three matches in a quadrangular series won by India B Under-19.

Parsons was then handed the armband when Pakistan visited these shores recently – the tourists whitewashing the hosts in a seven-match one-day series.


“I felt the India tour was an average one on an individual level, there was nothing special, and then captaining the side against Pakistan was a huge challenge,” the teenager explained. “The results were not what we expected and not what we wanted as a team.

“But we played against probably the best two Under-19 teams in the world and we’ll only learn from those experiences. I think we are already growing as a team.

“The awards were good reward, but now I know I need to work even harder in the year ahead to get even better.”

In winning the awards, Parsons has emulated the likes of Wiaan Mulder and Quinton de Kock – some of the most recent graduates from his province.

The youngster says he takes a lot of inspiration from the former, who is also an all-rounder and went on to represent the Standard Bank Proteas in the same year he was named SA U19 Player of the Year for the second time.

“Of course, the way Wiaan has shot up through the ranks, it just gives all youngsters hope that you’re not as far away as you may think,” he stated. “The road is quite a hard one to get to, becoming a professional cricketer. But Wiaan gives you hope that you can do it and you need to follow your dreams.”

Parsons, currently in the final stages of a six-week break recovering from injury, says his targets for the season ahead are to help his team do well at the World Cup, which South Africa will stage in January and February next year, and also start playing regular provincial cricket.

“Playing a World Cup on home soil and in your own back yard is always going to be nice,” Parsons beamed. “Having friends and family to come and support you will also add that extra incentive.

“But then there will obviously be that extra pressure to perform. The expectation will be there with a World Cup at home, but I think the team is ready for that, so it’s a big positive that it will be here. Hopefully we can have a good competition and meet all our goals.”
