The former opening batter of the national team is currently a selector of the under-19 team, who are in South Africa to participate in the ICC U-19 World Cup.

The ICC released the schedule for the 16-team event on Monday, with five venues across South Africa to host a total of 41 matches over more than three weeks in January and February in the 15th edition of the Under 19 showcase.

Stuart Law, who had served as head coach of the Bangladesh national team in 2011-2012, was appointed as under-19 team’s head coach, and yesterday he spoke to the media during a press conference.

Former India players were left disappointed by the scenes in Senwes Park at Potchefstroom on Sunday after Bangladesh and India U-19 players were involved in verbal exchanges following the Bangladesh U-19s’ World Cup final victory by three wickets.

No more agony, no more heartbreak against India. The Young Tigers created arguably the most seminal moment in its cricketing history at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom yesterday, ending their wait for a major global trophy.

Bangladesh have never gone past the quarter-finals of the Under-19 World Cup, but there are heightened expectations from them in this edition, with their team ending the group stage with three wins from three matches.

The hunt begins for the eleventh time…16 countries will contend for the coveted ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup trophy and the tag of ‘World Champions’ in Bangladesh from January 27 to February 14, 2016.
