ICC U19 World Cup 2024: Australia squad, schedule, timings, when and where to watch

Australia are placed in group C of the U19 World Cup 2024.

South Africa will host the 15th edition of the ICC U19 World Cup, which begins on January 19, 2024. South Africa last hosted the event in 2020, which Bangladesh won.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) suspended Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 due to political interference, allowing South Africa to host the U19 World Cup for the third time.

48 matches will be played between 16 participating teams in the U19 World Cup 2024. India are the defending champions and the most successful team in the history of the tournament with five title wins.

The 16 teams have been divided into four groups, with the top three from each group advancing to the super six round. The super six round will be divided into two groups, each consisting of six teams. The top-three teams from groups A and D will advance to group one, while teams from groups B and C will move on to group two. The top two teams from each super six group will compete in the semi-finals.
