Organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the 15th edition of the ICC U19 World Cup features 16 teams competing for the top prize.
The ICC U19 World Cup 2024 has already witnessed some future batting stars produce a few scintillating knocks for their respective nations.
India’s trio of Musheer Khan, Uday Saharan, Sachin Dhas, the South African duo of Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Steve Stolk and Scotland’s Jamie Dunk have been some of the leading run-scorers in the ongoing tournament.
Dewald Brevis holds the record for the most runs in a single edition of the ICC U19 World Cup. Representing South Africa, Brevis amassed 506 runs in six matches in 2022.
