Now the Under-19 World Cup will be organized in another country. ICC has taken this big decision for a special reason.

Under-19 World Cup snatched from Sri Lanka

ICC has shifted the Under-19 World Cup from Sri Lanka to South Africa. The ICC Board has taken this decision in view of the administrative uncertainty in Sri Lankan cricket. ICC meeting is currently going on in Ahmedabad. After lengthy deliberations, the ICC has decided to uphold its November 10 decision to suspend the Sri Lankan board. Cricket will continue normally in the country. The suspension will not be cancelled. This has dealt a big blow to the Sri Lanka Cricket Board.
