ICC is all set to host the 15th edition of ICC Men's U19 World Cup, starting on Friday, January 19. A total of 16 countries will battle it out in 41 games across four different venues in South Africa. This is the third time South Africa is hosting the U19 WC after 1998 and 2020.
Bangladesh, India, Ireland, and the USA are part of Group A, while England, Scotland, South Africa, and West Indies form Group B. Group C comprises Australia, Namibia, Sri Lanka, and Zimbabwe, while Group D will have Afghanistan, Nepal, New Zealand and Pakistan.
This year's event is all set to welcome the new format with the top three teams from each group progressing to the Super Six stage, starting on January 30. The 12 sides will be divided into two groups of six teams each to determine the semi-finalists and finalists.
The first ever ICC Men’s U19 World Cup was played in 1988, named as Youth Cricket World Cup. Australia were awarded the winner after beating Pakistan by five wickets in that event. Defending champions Team India are the most successful side with five titles, while Aussies won the silverware three times.
Pakistan bagged the trophy twice, while South Africa, England, Bangladesh, and West Indies clinched the trophy once.
