Long story about the location:
* Kenya was originally supposed to have it.
* ICC found that Kenyan cricket authorities couldn't account for $5m that the ICC gave them (I think for one of the Champion Trophies, or a comp like that), got annoyed and took the U/19 world cup away from them.
* Sri Lanka said they'd have it, until the tsunami hit and they said they had more important things to worry about than holding the underage WC.
* ICC wanted to give it to a developing nation, as the established nations not from the subcontinent (i.e. Eng, Aus, SA, etc.) aren't interested in holding it because it doesn't make money, because no-one bothers attending.
* They ended up asking Malaysia if they wanted it, and Malaysia thus far have indicated that they are willing to hold it.
*Tournament will be held anywhere between Feb-April 2006, AFAIK.
RE: the Australian team. There's currently a squad of about 25 or so players, who head up to the Academy once every 3 months or so for a camp. They'll pick the actual team after the National U/19 Championship in Perth.

dont even worry abt australia cuz pakistan will win it again anyway!
Maybe Mr shahid maybe,we have to have a youth tournament yet so maybe the best squad wasn't chosen against bangladesh.Hopefully we have a better warm before this world cup,the warm upm last time was dreadful,we don't seem to play under intenational series as much anymore or we didn't last season.
I will let ya have the upper hand shahid but will turn up the heat closer to the tournament

I'm saying that it wouldn't have mattered if Australia had've played their strongest team. They still would have ended up on the losing side.
EDIT: oh crap, i just realised I'd typed "would" instead of "wouldn't". will fix that up now.
EDIT x2 : no wait a second! i was right! it doesn't need to be changed. i made perfect sense.

Thanx vic,i think we need a good warm up and we will play a lot better in the cup.
Do you know where khwajah hails from seems to be an arabic name,he did pretty well in grade also for an 18 year old.
Bangladesh seem to be producing a lot of good youngsters lately.

There is a stark difference as to how sub continental teams like India and Pakistan approach the youth world cup compared to Australia.
I remember a player from the Australian youth world cup squad was called back to play a first class game as that is considered more important in Australia, and rightly so.
For the subcontinental teams, making an impact in this tournament is vital to be fast tracked into the contendors for the national team. Guys like Kaif, Yuvraj, Sodhi, Pathan, Patel, Sivaramakrishnan, Ravi Shastri and now Shikar Dhawan and Raina who are frequent in the A sides are examples.
Australia, England do not give as much importance to these except as an experience. You have to do well first in the first class cricket. I believe that is indeed the right approach but it can go to extremes as was done in the case of England earlier with youngsters not being able to make debuts fast.

You are right,I mean I dont see one youngster in the australian team besides some watson and etc all of them are old and experince players that spend most of their time playing cricket,Pratyush said:
in sub continent specially in paksitan and india players are young and new ones are coming like dhoni etc.
For a lot of cricketing countries a good performance in an under 19 game is a walk up start for an international call up.In australia you go through under age comps,the state academies,the australian academy,the state 2nd xl comp,grade,and thats before you get picked for your state.
