The International Cricket Council (ICC) is all set to host the ICC Men’s U19 World Cup 2024, starting on Friday, January 19. Before the start of the tournament, all teams will participate in warm-up games, commencing on Saturday, January 13.
A total of 16 teams are participating in the event, divided into four groups with four teams each. India, Bangladesh, Ireland, and the USA are part of Group A. Group B comprises England, South Africa, West Indies, and Scotland.
Group C contains Australia, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, and Namibia while Afghanistan, Pakistan, New Zealand, and Nepal make up Group D. Each team will play two warm-up games ahead of the main event.
Team India, led by Uday Saharan, are set to lock horns with Australia on January 13 and Sri Lanka on January 17. The Boys in Blue will enter the tournament as defending champions; they beat England U19 in the final of the 2022 edition in Antigua by four wickets.
