The Pakistan men’s U19 cricket team is set to participate in a 50-over tri-series against Afghanistan and hosts United Arab Emirates (UAE) from 13 to 26 November. The tournament will follow a double-league format, with the top two teams advancing to the final.
Pakistan will kick off the series by facing the UAE in the event opener, with the venue to be confirmed. This tri-series is part of the preparations for the ACC Men’s U19 Asia Cup 2024, providing an excellent opportunity for the participating teams to finalize their strategies and line-ups for the competition. The details of the Asia Cup will be announced by the ACC in due course.
The upcoming PCB National U19 Cup (one-day) and Championship (three-day), scheduled to start in October, will serve as crucial platforms for emerging and talented cricketers. These events will offer them the chance to impress selectors and secure their spots for both the tri-series and the ACC Men’s U19 Asia Cup.
PCB Director International, Usman Wahla, expressed his enthusiasm:
“We are delighted that the Pakistan Men’s U19 team will be taking part in a highly competitive U19 tri-series in the UAE just before the ACC Men’s U19 Asia Cup. This will be a great opportunity for the young players to grow and nurture their skills.
“The PCB is thankful to the Emirates Cricket Board for arranging this tri-series, which also demonstrates the strong bilateral ties between both Boards and our shared commitment towards developing young players.”
