Bangladesh U19 World Cup Squad 2024 & Matches Schedule
Team Bangladesh at the U19 World Cup events has shown consistent promise by qualifying to the knockout stages but it is the pressure games in which they often lack efficiency to continue their good form and win big games. In 2020, they were crowned Champions for the first time, which was a huge achievement for Bangladesh as even their senior team has been unable to win the title so far. Team Bangladesh will be feeling confident coming into this 2024 U19 World Cup event as they won the trophy in South Africa back in 2020 and this year due to ICC’s provisional ban on Sri Lanka the tournament was moved to South Africa. Below, we have discussed the Bangladesh U19 World Cup squad 2024 as well as the Bangladesh U19 World Cup schedule 2024 for the passionate fans to understand what to expect and the challenges ahead for them in the upcoming tournament.

The team squad for the Bangladesh U19 cricket World Cup includes a mix of talented players ready to showcase their skills on the global stage. The squad consists of promising individuals such as Ashiqur Rahaman Shibli, Jishan Alam, and Chowdhury Md Rizwan, who are expected to play pivotal roles in the team’s success. Additionally, the inclusion of Adil Bin Siddik & Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman Boranno brings depth and versatility to the batting lineup.
In terms of bowling, the team possesses a formidable combination of pace and spin resources.
