ACC Men's U16 East Zone Cup 2025: Full schedule, squads, match timings, and live-streaming details

The ACC Men’s Under-16 East Zone Cup 2025 will be held between Sunday, June 22 and Saturday, July 5, in Malaysia. As many as 10 teams will be participating in the two-week-long 50-overs tournament, where they will be divided into two groups of five teams each.

Group A of the competition comprises defending champions Nepal, Singapore, Indonesia, Bhutan, and Japan. Group B, on the other hand, features Hong Kong (China), Thailand, Maldives, Myanmar, and hosts Malaysia.

With under-16 players from all sides in focus, the tournament prioritizes youth development and regional talent exposure, serving as a crucial platform for grooming the next generation of cricketers in Asia.

Cricket boards of Singapore and Bhutan, among others, have already announced their entire squads for the competition. Singapore named Riaan Naik as team captain. Notably, Riaan is the grandson of Prakash Naik, who was the brother of late former Indian cricketer and Wankhede pitch curator Sudhir Naik.

Nonetheless, the ACC Men's U16 East Zone Cup 2025 will comprise 24 matches, including 20 fixtures constituting the opening round of the competition. Each of the 10 participating teams will be facing their fellow Group competitors once in a round-robin format, and the top two sides from each group will qualify for the semifinals.

The entire tournament will be played across three venues, namely the YSD UKM Oval in Bangi, the Kolej Tuanku Jaafar Oval (KTJ Oval) in Kuala Lumpur and the Selangor Turf Club (STC Oval) in Kuala Lumpur.

On that note, let’s take a look at the entire schedule, squads, match timings and other live streaming and live telecast details regarding the ACC Men's U16 East Zone Cup 2025:
