Nigeria’s Under-19 male cricket team will travel to India for a tour ahead of the ICC World Cup Africa Division One qualifiers. Daniel Gim, the coach of the team, said that the team was hoping to depart the country on May 18. “We resumed camp in Abuja ahead of the Indian tour."
"We have 16 players in camp, and we hope that all players can make it to India." The aim is to expose the players and prepare them adequately for the U-19 World Cup qualifiers in July in Tanzania.
“After spending about two weeks in India, we will be back home, hopefully, to continue with further preparations for the qualifiers,” Gim said.
The team finished second behind Kenya in the Division 2 qualifiers in Abuja in 2022, with Sierra Leone taking the third place position out of the six teams that participated.
“This means the trio qualified for Division One, where they face Namibia, Uganda, and hosts Tanzania for a sole ticket to the World Cup in Sri Lanka in 2024,” he said.
The U-19 had previously qualified Nigeria for her first ever World Cup in 2020 in South Africa.
