MTN Under-19 World Cup (1998)
The tournament returned with its present form 10 years after the first edition. South Africa hosted the tournament this time and England defeated New Zealand by 7 wickets to lift the trophy.
Highest run-scorer and wicket-taker in this edition were Caribbean compatriots Chris Gayle and Ramnaresh Sarwan, respectively. Both of them went on to become modern-day greats. Joint highest wicket-taker, Zimbabwe's Mluleki Nkala, went on to play 10 tests and 50 ODIs for his nation, with sparing success.
This edition afforded a first look of the likes of Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh, Imran Tahir (who then played for Pakistan), Shoaib Malik, Abdul Razzaq, Graeme Swann, Kyle Mills, Dilhara Fernando, and Darren Ganga.
