U19 ICC Cricket World Cup 2022

The UAE 5/304 in 49 Overs with PNG 10/72 in 27 Overs. The effort by the Garamuts given the match was against a fellow associate member in the UAE.
“It is a big, big mountain for this young team and we must remember a large number of these players have not played regular cricket on turf wickets or regular hardball cricket in general,” says Sean Hutton, a passionate follower of Cricket PNG.

He said results like this reflects the need for a strong youth development program and pathway.

Cricket PNG General Manager Tony Naidu said after all the emotions and  disappointments of the PNG Lewas, the management team under Cricket PNG Identification Manager Rodney Maha have started the process of getting NID certificates done for the boys before they can get their passports.

Naidu said with the late withdrawal of the Lewas from the ICC Women’s T20 qualifiers, they now realise and understand that it is not easy to travel internationally under the current global pandemic restrictions.
