The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has recently revealed the qualified teams for the Men’s U19 Asia Cup 2024, marking a departure from the previous qualification process. Unlike previous editions, there will be no premier cup to determine the participating teams for the upcoming tournament, as the ACC has opted for a direct qualification approach.
In a notable decision, the ACC has decided to retain the teams that participated in the Men’s U19 Asia Cup 2023 for the upcoming edition in 2024. This means that the cricketing nations, which showcased their talent and skills in the 2023 Asia Cup, will once again grace the tournament without the need for additional qualification rounds.
The Men’s U19 Premier Cup 2023, held to select teams for the Asia Cup, saw Nepal emerge victorious, securing the prestigious title. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) claimed the runner-up position, while Japan clinched third place in the playoffs. These three teams earned their spots in the U19 Men’s Asia Cup 2023 based on their performance in the Premier Cup.
However, the dynamics have shifted for the 2024 edition, as the ACC has chosen a streamlined approach to team selection. The participating nations in the upcoming Men’s U19 Asia Cup 2024 have been directly qualified based on their involvement in the previous edition.
The confirmed teams for the Men’s U19 Asia Cup 2024 are as follows:
- India
- Pakistan

These teams, having proven their mettle in the 2023 Asia Cup, will now have the opportunity to showcase their cricketing prowess on the regional stage once again. The direct qualification method adds a layer of anticipation and excitement to the tournament, as fans eagerly await the clash of young cricketing talents from across Asia.
