Delhi: Under-19 World Cup is to be played next year and the current situation is that it has been decided which 16 teams will play in it. Now, in every further discussion to the Under-19 World Cup, to be held in Zimbabwe and Namibia, these 16 teams will be mentioned the most. Note the names of these teams: Australia, Ireland, Sri Lanka, Japan, India, England, New Zealand,. USA, Pakistan, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, New Zealand, South Africa, West Indies, Afghanistan and Scotland.

Host Namibia will not play World Cup

Did you note that in these 16 teams, one of the two joint hosts of the tournament is not the name of Namibia. Generally, by creating the structure of the tournament, it is decided that the host country will play otherwise how will the residents of that country be associated with the tournament? It is also considered necessary to play the hosts for the popularity of the tournament.

This system went well until the tournament was a host, but when two more and even three countries started organizing the same tournament, it became very difficult to guarantee every host to play. The result of that is that Namibia did not get a guarantee of playing in the Under-19 World Cup and he himself could not qualify with the Africa qualifier. A team was supposed to come from there and Tanzania defeated the famous teams of Namibia and Kenya and won the names and they are playing.

Despite being a joint host in this way, Namibia is not playing in the Under-19 World Cup and if we talk about Namibia especially, then note the 2027 Male World Cup can also have a similar situation. Then its joint hosts are South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia and have to qualify for the three teams to play.

Even before the hosts have not participated

• The ICC World Test Championship Final is a completely new example. In the three finals played so far, in any, one team was not named England, but all three finals were played in England itself.
• The Asia Cup is starting soon. When the Asia Cup started in 1984, the first tournament was played in Sharjah. Then from the UAE, on the map of cricket, not Dubai, Sharjah was more famous. The hosts were missing from the tournament and the biggest truth is that UAE was not even a member of the newly created Asian Cricket Council.
• The tournament which is now discussed in the name of Champions Trophy, was first played as 1998 Wils International Cup in Bangladesh and in it, Bangladesh did not qualify directly.
• Now the counting of the final in the Nutral Ground is increasing continuously. In the previous Champions Trophy, UAE played the role of a pure host of India’s matches. However, officially he was not a joint host of the tournament and gave stadiums for matches on rent.
