Pakistan dominates the U19 competition, having ruled the youth cricket circuit in 2025 by winning the ACC Men’s Asia Cup Rising Stars and U19 Asia Cup titles in addition to winning the tri-series featuring Afghanistan and Zimbabwe.
England U19, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing away tour in New Zealand where they suffered a 5-2 defeat in the seven-match Youth ODI series.
