The Pakistan men's U19 cricket team is gearing up to compete against Afghanistan and hosts United Arab Emirates (UAE) in a 50-over tri-series scheduled from November 13 to 26.
The tri-series will feature a double-league format, with Pakistan taking on the UAE in the opening match. The venue for the matches will be confirmed later. The top two teams from the series will advance to the final on November 26.
This tri-series serves as a preparatory stage for the upcoming Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Men’s U19 Asia Cup 2024, providing the participating teams with a valuable opportunity to finalise their strategies and fine-tune their skills ahead of the major tournament. The details of the ACC Men’s U19 Asia Cup will be announced by the ACC in due course.

In addition to the tri-series, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) National U19 Cup (one-day) and Championship (three-day) will commence in October.

PCB Director International, Usman Wahla, expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming series: “We are delighted that the Pakistan Men’s U19 team will be participating in this highly competitive U19 tri-series in the UAE. It presents a tremendous opportunity for our young players to enhance their skills and gain valuable experience.”
