After the ICC Board decided in November to move the event from Sri Lanka, the International Cricket Council (ICC) today released a revised schedule for the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024.

This schedule confirms five venues in South Africa that will host the 15th edition of the renowned event between January 19 and February 11, 2024.

The world’s most promising young cricket players will battle it out for the trophy in 41 matches played at prestigious international locations: Willowmoore Park in Benoni, which has been chosen to host the Semi-Finals on February 6 and 8, the Final on February 11, Buffalo Park in East London, Kimberley Oval in Kimberley, JB Marks Oval in Potchefstroom, and Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein.

According to the revised schedule, the hosts will begin their campaign in Potchefstroom against the West Indies on opening day, and the reigning champions, India, will begin their title defence a day later against Bangladesh, the previous winners who won the trophy when the tournament was last held in South Africa in 2020.

This edition of the tournament will include a new format: teams who advance from the group stages will compete in a new Super Six stage that begins on January 30. The objective of this stage is to select which two groups of six teams will advance to the Semi-Finalists and the subsequent Finalists.

Holders India are joined in Group A of the group listings by Bangladesh, Ireland, and the United States. England, South Africa, the West Indies, and Scotland make up Group B. Australia, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, and Namibia are in Group C, and Afghanistan, Pakistan, New Zealand, and Nepal are in Group D.

ICC Head of Events, Chris Tetley said, they have seen South Africa successfully deliver two milestone events for the sport in the past 12 months. The first ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup last year, and the groundbreaking ICC Women’s T20 World Cup that followed.

By moving the U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024 to South Africa, they will have the chance to capitalise on this momentum and invite the world’s top young players to five prestigious international locations, he added.
