ICC CEO, Geoff Allardice said: \u201cWe are delighted to announce the schedule for the second edition of the ICC U19 Women\u2019s T20 World Cup and bringing an ICC event of this stature to Malaysia for the first time since the U19 Men\u2019s Cricket World Cup in 2008.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThis is a special event to the ICC and forms an important part of our Global Growth Strategy of raising the profile of women\u2019s cricket and further growing the game around the world. It is also a unique opportunity to introduce our vast global audiences to the future stars of the sport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
