The ACC U19 Asia Cup 2024, the eleventh edition of this prestigious tournament, is set to take place from November 29 to December 8 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Matches will be played across Sharjah and Dubai, with the final scheduled at the Dubai International Stadium.

Administered by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), this limited-overs competition will feature eight teams battling across 15 matches in a group stage and knockout format. Participants include the five full ICC member nations from Asia – India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh – and three associate nations qualified through regional tournaments.

This tournament, a crucial platform for emerging talent, has been a cornerstone for discovering future stars of Asian cricket. Defending champions Bangladesh, who claimed their maiden title in 2023, will aim to retain their crown.

India, historically the most successful team with eight titles, will look to reclaim their dominance after being eliminated by Bangladesh in the semi-finals last year. India have announced a strong squad for the tournament, containing the new Rajasthan Royals signing Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Chennai Super Kings hopeful Ayush Mhatre.

With a mix of rising talents and proven performers, all teams aim to stake their claim for supremacy in the region.
