LAHORE – The Pakistan men’s U19 cricket team will play against Afghanistan and hosts United Arab Emirates (UAE) in a 50-over tri-series from 13 to 26 November.
Pakistan will face the UAE in the event opener (venue to be confirmed in due course) with the tournament to be played on a double-league format and the top two sides qualifying for the final.
This series will be played in the build up to the ACC Men’s U19 Asia Cup 2024 and will provide an excellent opportunity to the three sides to finalise their preparations for the competition, whose details will be announced by the ACC in due course.
With the PCB National U19 Cup (one-day) and Championship (three-day) due to commence in October, these events will be good platforms and opportunities to the emerging and talented cricketers to perform consistently so that they can impress the selectors and strengthen their claims for the tri-series and the ACC Men’s U19 Asia Cup selection.
PCB Director International, Usman Wahla: “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 shows strong bilateral ties between both the Boards and our shared commitment towards developing young players.”
