ICC Under 23 Cricket World Cup 2025

Brand new Cricket World Cup arrives in the Caribbean

It feels scarcely a moment has passed since cricket's most powerful man Jay Shah announced that the ICC would be scrapping the Under-19 Cricket World Cup and replacing it with an under-23 competition, but already the ICC Under-23 Cricket World Cup has arrived. Its first edition will be held in the sunny Caribbean, where Jay Shah will be attending at least one of the matches each day as the ICC's official representative.

Jay Shah will follow the tournament as it island-hops between Antigua, Barbados, Jamaica, St Lucia and Trinidad.

Shah's reasoning for the change was to encourage young cricketers to still pursue a university education: where previously, a 19-year-old cricketer might be faced with the choice between going to university or representing their country at age group level. By extending under-age cricket to Under-23 level, Shah believes that this will open up the opportunity for young players to complete undergraduate and Masters level education and remain part of their country's under-age pathway.

Competing will be all 12 ICC Full Member nations, as well as four Associate members: Canada, Netherlands, Scotland and the United States. The ICC conducted the tournament draw several weeks ago, and has achieved the following random groupings:
  • Group A: :afg: :nzf: :sco: :zim:
  • Group B: :aus: :eng: :usa: :wi:
  • Group C: :ban: :ned: :saf: :sri:
  • Group D: :can: :ind: :ire: :pak:
Let the tournament begin!
