The ICC U19 Women’s World Cup will be played across four venues in Bangladesh and Nepal, from January 21 to February 6. A total of 16 teams will be a part of the competition, divided across four groups.
Pakistan have been drawn into the same group, Group B, as South Africa, New Zealand and Samoa, while defending champions India are in a different group, sharing the pool with Ireland, West Indies and Nepal in Group A.
Australia, Bangladesh, Nigeria and the United Arab Emirates make up Group C, and England, Sri Lanka, the United States of America and Scotland are part of Group D.
“The ICC U19 World Cup is the stage that showcases the future of our sport and serves as the ultimate platform for young players to make the leap towards elite careers representing their countries,” ICC CEO Sanjog Gupta said. “These future stars representing 16 teams will garner the world’s attention and become relatable role models for many young girls playing the sport, serving inspiration for their continued cricket journeys.
“The choice of our hosts – Bangladesh and Nepal – is also reflective of the ICC’s belief and investment in the future of the cricket ecosystem. With deep passion for cricket and nearly 40% of the two countries’ populations below the age of 20, they serve as the ideal hosts for one of the world’s biggest youth sporting events.”
