Zimbabwe automatically qualified for next edition u19 world cup, even though they finished outside the 11 place
Re: 2022 U19 World Cup Thread
How did that happen?

I'm sure that will be queried. UAE in particular will have something to say about that.

Re: 2022 U19 World Cup Thread
The ICC are disgusting.
I mean this is great for Zim if we are being selfish. But it's completely unacceptable. During the tournament the ICC - and their commentators - repeatedly said the top 11 finishers qualify, and in the UAE's last match even praised how well they had done and had 'qualified for 2024.'
To back trackon that a few months later and change it to 'the top 11 full members' (only 11 full members entered! ) is frankly insulting.
Cricket remains the worst administered sport in the world.

Reminds me of when the Thailand ladies team was done dirty. So New Zealand are playing the qualifier?
