A Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) official on Thursday confirmed that the board has decided not to include U-19 team players in the upcoming National Cricket League (NCL) T20 squads, citing workload management.

Left-arm spinner Rafiuzzaman Rafi registered a five-wicket haul as Bangladesh U-19s won by four wickets against their South African counterparts in the penultimate fixture of the five-match one-day series at the Shaheed Kamruzzaman Stadium in Rajshahi yesterday.

Bangladesh U-19s restricted New Zealand U-19s to 211 for eight in the semifinal of the ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup at Potchefstroom today, courtesy of some tight line and length from the bowlers.

Bangladesh U-19 maintain their winning run as they defeat Malaysia U-19 by 262 runs to top the table in the U-19 Asia Cup.
