Attn: U-19 Board

The CWBCC would like you to schedule a home series against an opponent of your choosing. It should entail both Youth Tests and ODIs. The CWBCC will then assign dates to the matches. Please arrange this ASAP, so we can fit it into a very busy international calendar this season.

I reckon we should take on one of the big guns: India or Pakistan.

Or Bangladesh. :)

Lets play someone good i say, Aus or Saf

Just sent a email to Jack and Trav about this series.

India and Pakistan are probably the best under-19 sides in the world at the moment though.

As co-captains, do me and Paddy get any say in squad/team selection?

Some say in team selection, usually not in the selection of the actual squad though.

CW Under 19 Board with United Cricket Board of South Africa would like to announce that CW Under 19s and RSA Under 19s will take part in 3 Youth Tests and 3 YODIs in CWLand during Season XI. The fixtures for the series will be released at a further date.

After a disappointing end to a successful series against England during the off season, the CW Under 19s will be looking to continue their development against their very powerful African opponents. After a disappointing Youth World Cup two years ago were South Africa lost a plate semi final to the unheralded Nepal side. The South African will be looking to build for the forthcoming Youth World Cup and gain some respect that was lost from their previous campaign.

Just wondering, I thought we were confining ourselves to off-season tours after the Dev League captains kicked up a stink about unavailabilities last year when New Zealand U/19's toured.

I thought the same thing, but it looks like there has been a change of mind by the board.

Certainly I think that's the best policy to follow currently. Once there are about 20+ in each squad I believe it would be more convenient

With a home series, only 11 players would be unavailable on any particular day. During the one day matches, that number would rise to 14, but the 3 players outside the first XI on a given day may be released to their clubs. U-19 matches will not run at the same time as senior international matches.

During the senior tours in the off-season how many players were eligable for the U'19s?

Is it the same Squad that played pres season or will it be a new squad for this U19 series?
