Bangladesh U 19 Cricket Team News

Former India opener and Bangladesh U-19’s batting consultant Wasim Jaffer is delighted after his side remained unbeaten in Pakistan in their recently-concluded multi-format tour. In fact, the 44-year-old has mentioned that this success will be ‘right up there in terms of job satisfaction’.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India is planning to host a tournament with two different U-19 teams against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in November. No U19 matches have been played since the outbreak of the Covid-19 outbreak in March 2020, and the cricket board aims to resume it from November.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hasan has said that they will follow the preparation template that brought the U19 team success in the just-concluded World Cup in South Africa. Hasan also shed light on the long-term planning behind their maiden ICC title, beating India in the final.

India U19’s final encounter with Bangladesh was marred with controversy as five players were sanctioned by ICC for using language and action that was provocative. Bangladesh’s Hridoy, Hossain and India’s Akash Singh were dealt with six demerit points as Rakibul and Bishnoi escaped with fewer games.
