KATHMANDU: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has shifted the 2024 ICC Men’s U-19 World Cup from Sri Lanka to South Africa.
The ICC Board meeting held on Tuesday took the decision as Sri Lanka Cricket has been suspended due to government interference in the national cricket board’s administration.
“After hearing representation from SLC, the ICC Board decided that Sri Lanka can continue to compete internationally both in bilateral cricket and ICC events after being suspended recently for breaching its obligations as a Member, in particular, the requirement to manage its affairs autonomously and without government interference,” ICC said in a media release after the board meeting.
The 16-team tournament is scheduled to take place from January 13 to February 4. Nepal has been placed in Group D alongside Afghanistan, Pakistan, and New Zealand.
