\u201cToday marks a pivotal moment for cricket in Asia. The introduction of the Women\u2019s U19 Asia Cup is a monumental achievement, providing a much-needed platform for young women cricketers to develop their skills and showcase their talent.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThis initiative strengthens the future of women\u2019s cricket in Asia, and we are proud of the lasting impact these decisions will have, not only within our member nations but across the global cricketing community,\u201d said ACC President Jay Shah, who also serves as BCCI Secretary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Women\u2019s Under-19 T20 Asia Cup will serve as a key preparatory tournament for all Asian teams before every edition of the ICC Women\u2019s U19 T20 World Cup. ACC further said in its statement that the tournament will give emerging female cricketers in Asia the opportunity to compete on an international platform, and help them in getting crucial experience and readiness to ultimately helping Asian teams perform better on the world stage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
