Australia name Under-19 Cricket World Cup squad

The 15-player squad includes Cooper Connolly, who has been selected for his second Under-19 World Cup, having been part of Australia’s previous campaign in South Africa.

Seventeen-year-old Harkirat Bajwa will be hoping to replicate Connolly, having been picked as an underage player who will still be eligible for selection for the 2024 tournament.

Coached by Anthony Clark, Australia has been drawn alongside hosts West Indies, Scotland and Sri Lanka in Group D of the pool stage.

“Our squad includes players of all disciplines with experience in domestic cricket environments, and many have produced eye-catching performances across a variety of strong competitions this season,” Clark said.

“The Under-19 World Cup provides players with an exceptional development opportunity and we look forward to seeing them represent their country with distinction.”
