The Under-19 players won’t take part in the upcoming NCL T20 tournament due to their preparations for next year’s Youth World Cup.

The second edition of the NCL T20 is set to roll onto the ground in the second week of September in three venues across the country.

The youngsters will visit England for a five-match youth ODI series this

month and will return home on September 16. They will be given a break after the England tour, considering their workload.

In November, they will play in the Youth Asia Cup before taking part in the World Cup in January next year.

Given consistent cricket, they won’t be seen in the NCL T20 tournament.

The Under-19 players played the first edition of the tournament and some of them like Jisan Alam and others put in an impressive performance.
