Cricket tournament
The 2016 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup was an international limited-overs cricket tournament held in Bangladesh from 22 January to 14 February 2016.[ 1] It was the eleventh edition of the Under-19 Cricket World Cup , and the second to be held in Bangladesh, after the 2004 event.[ 2]
The World Cup was contested by the national under-19 teams of sixteen International Cricket Council (ICC) members, and all matches played held under-19 One Day International (ODI) status. Ten teams qualified automatically for the tournament through their status as ICC full members , while five others qualified by winning regional qualifying events. The final place at the tournament was taken by the winner of the 2015 Under-19 World Cup Qualifier , which was contested by the runners-up at the five regional qualifiers.[ 3] However, on 5 January 2016, Cricket Australia announced that the Australian squad had pulled out of the tournament, citing security concerns.[ 4] Ireland were invited as a replacement for Australia.[ 5]
Defending champions South Africa were knocked out of the tournament in the group stage, with back-to-back defeats to Bangladesh and Namibia .[ 6] [ 7] The West Indies eventually defeated India by five wickets, claiming their first title.[ 8] Bangladesh's captain Mehedi Hasan was named player of the tournament, while England's Jack Burnham and Namibia's Fritz Coetzee led the tournament in runs and wickets, respectively.
