ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup (2006)

Australia v West Indies - 3rd Test: Day 5
This edition's inductee, David Warner is now one of the finest openers in international cricket.

Sri Lanka hosted the tournament again as arch-rivals India and Pakistan locked horns in the final of the tournament. The latter successfully defended the title overcoming India by 38 runs, bundling them within 71 runs in the process. Nepal stunned New Zealand in plate final of the tournament.

India's Cheteshwar Pujara scored the highest number of runs in the tournament and has not looked back since. Australia's Moises Henriques took 16 wickets in the tournament. His international career has been wobbly, however. Currently, he has fallen down the pecking order owing to his inconsistency.

This year's tournament introduced David Warner, Martin Guptill, Tim Southee, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, and Moeen Ali to the world.
