England Women U19 World Cup: England women’s U19 team will be touring Sri Lanka to take on the hosts and Australia in a tri-series happening from March to April. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) also said that both T20 and 50-over formats will be played across the tour.

It added that Chris Guest, currently Regional Head Coach at The Blaze and Assistant Coach at Northern Superchargers in The Women’s Hundred, will be the head coach of the England women’s U19 team, with more details including dates and locations to be announced in due course.

Guest will be in-charge of a preparation group attending a series of winter camps in Loughborough in January before a reduced tour squad is announced at a later date. In the preparation group are a number of players that attended the inaugural ICC Women’s U19 World Cup in South Africa in January 2023, where England finished as runners-up, and who are still age-eligible.
