Australia has revealed its 15-player squad for the U19 Men's Cricket World Cup 2024, set to kick off on January 13th in South Africa. Comprising talents scouted from the U19 Ashes, this squad is packed with promising players who exhibited their skills in various tournaments.

Sam Konstas emerged as a standout performer during the U19 Male National Championships, contributing significantly to NSW Metro's victory with a remarkable unbeaten knock of 63*. His stellar performance earned him the Player of the Match title, adding to his credentials as a Sydney Thunder player in the Big Bash League.

Another noteworthy talent, Aiden O'Connor, caught attention with his exceptional batting displays. His outstanding performance in the tournament led to him securing the prestigious Brain Taber Medal as the Player of the Tournament, having amassed 208 runs.

Harry Dixon, with an impressive record of aggregating 222 runs during the U19 Male National Championships, has also earned his place in the squad. Like Konstas, Dixon is affiliated with the Big Bash League, representing the Melbourne Renegades.

This U19 World Cup initially slated for Sri Lanka faced relocation due to ICC's suspension of Sri Lanka Cricket, resulting from governmental interference in cricket administration. Consequently, South Africa steps in as the host country, reminiscent of their role in hosting the Women's U19 World Cup's inaugural edition.

The squad's announcement indicates Australia's commitment to nurturing young cricketing talent, showcasing a promising team for the U19 Cricket World Cup 2024.
