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

Bangladesh had won the U19 World Cup in 2020 when it was last played in South Africa.

The 15th edition of the ICC U19 World Cup is set to begin on January 19, 2024. South Africa won the tournament’s hosting rights, replacing Sri Lanka, who had been scheduled to host it previously.

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

The tournament will last 23 days and feature 48 matches between 16 teams. India are the most successful team in tournament history, having won five editions of the U19 World Cup.

India will also compete as the defending champions and hot favorites at the forthcoming big youth event. India won the U19 World Cup 2022 in the West Indies, defeating England in the finals.

The 16 teams have been divided into four groups, with the top three teams from each group qualifying for the super six stage. The super six round will be divided into two groups, each with six teams. The top three teams from groups A and D will qualify in group 1 and teams from groups B and C for group 2. The top 2 teams in each super six group will play in the semi-finals.
