Lahore, 3 July 2025: The Pakistan Cricket Board today announces the selection of 30 players for the third phase of the U19 Skills Development camp in Multan. The third phase will begin from Monday, 7 July and will go until the end of next month.
The selection of 20 players follows a comprehensive match-based assessment process conducted in two phases, in which a total of 65 players participated under the supervision of Azhar Ali, Head of Youth Development.
The 10 players who had previously represented Pakistan U19 and are eligible to feature in ICC U19 World Cup 2026 are added in the third phase of the camp. The players born on or after 1 September 2006 are eligible to feature in the forthcoming ICC U19 World Cup.
To ensure a fair and detailed evaluation, the 65 players were divided into two groups, with each group playing four matches under competitive conditions. This format allowed selectors and coaches to assess a range of key skills, including batting, bowling, fielding and tactical awareness.
The third phase of the Skills Assessment camp aims to further refine the players’ technical and mental skills as part of the broader strategy to prepare a strong pool of talent for upcoming domestic event as well as international events including ACC U19 Asia Cup and ICC U19 World Cup.
