This should be good seeing some of our younger prospects in action.

I remember when Australia A came to Pakistan. Pakistan did well then. And Pakistan Under-19 are the World Champions, so it should be a good contest.

Who are in the squads?

I don't know about this tour, but there is also another one that will be happening in April, here is the press release on that tour. Surprised that Jamshed Ahmed isn't in there, but Anwar Ali, Najaf Shah, and Fawad Alam inclusion should be entertaining.

I think PCB must look after them they are the futures

 

[ZexyZahid]

Maybe Jamshed Ahmed turned over 19 years now, so that's why he wasn't included.

 

[Jaztheman]

hope they can play better than the over 19's did in the world cup:

To be honest, I believe this is the most important U19 series for a long time.

An ageing Australia team are dominating the World Cup but youth will have to take over in the coming decade.

A troubled Pakistan team are going to look for some young blood to boost the team and they would hope the U19 champions can continue producing brilliant youngsters.

Fawad Alam, Najaf Shah, Adnan Raza & Anwar Ali great prospects!!!
Here is Jamshed Ahmed's profile, he is 18 years old...
