It’s the only time the skippers of the respective sides will be in the one place, with the 16 teams splitting to different parts of the country for group stage action, beginning on 18 January.
The privilege of hosting the World Cup is not lost on the Malaysian captain Nur Dania Syuhada Binti Abedul Samad.
“Participating in a World Cup trophy photo shoot along with 15 countries’ captains provided me with an extraordinary experience.
“Representing Malaysia at the U19 T20 World Cup is an unparalleled opportunity for us to showcase our talent on an international stage.
“It’s also a chance to showcase the country’s cricketing future, and for the fans, it’s a moment to support their emerging stars.”
Group C teams travel to Sarawak on the island of Borneo, while Group B teams head south to Johor, close to the border with Singapore. Group A and B action remains in the outskirts of the capital, across Bayuemas Oval and UKM Oval respectively.
