The U19 Cricket World Cup 2020 is here and the defending champions India are ready to go and bring back the title.

The Indian colts have been playing cricket in South Africa for almost a month now and have had enough practice sessions to hit the ground running once the tournament starts. Four-time winners India has a strong support staff with Rahul Dravid leading the group.

The Indian U19 team will have to play three group stage matches against Sri Lanka U19, Japan U19, and New Zealand U19 before reaching the knockouts. The tournament begins on January 17, but Team India will play their first game a couple of days later.
