The ICC Men’s
U19 Cricket World Cup 2024 in January will be held in South Africa after the
ICC Board that met today confirmed Sri Lanka would be replaced as hosts.
Sri Lanka
cricket recently suspended by the ICC for breaching its obligation as a member,
namely for failing to manage its affair autonomously and without government
interference.
It was
revealed after the board meeting that Sri Lanka can continue to compete
internationally both in bilateral and ICC events, however funding to SLC will
be controlled by the ICC and as a result, the U19 event has been moved to the
same country that hosted Women’s U19 World Cup earlier this year.
The 16 participating teams have been divided into four groups of four.
Defending Champion India are joined by Bangladesh, Ireland and USA in group A.
Group B features England, South Africa, West Indies and Scotland. Group C
consists of Australia, Sri Lanka, Namibia, Zimbabwe while Afghanistan, New
Zealand, Pakistan and Nepal make up Group D.
The Tournament which starts in January, will consists of 41 matches with the
final to be staged in February.
