The inaugural ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup was a long time in the making, but when it finally took place in 2023, it was a roaring success. For Snehal Pradhan that turn of events served to make the tournament even more successful.

“It was a fantastic success. It was very much a commitment to equity between the men's tournament and the women's tournament but also a leap of faith. Countries were still maturing in how developed their women's and junior pathways were so it was a chance to see the work that the countries have been putting in over the last few years."

Anika Kolan, who was the vice-captain of the USA team at the ICC Women’s U19 T20 World Cup in South Africa in 2023, has been named captain of the 15-player USA squad for the 2025 ICC Women’s U19 World Cup in Malaysia.

The ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup is set to return for its second edition, with the tournament set to be played in January 2025 in Malaysia.
