More details on broadcast coverage of the event will be announced in due course.

This increased broadcast coverage is a clear reflection in the enhanced profile of the event, which is billed as the platform for future stars.

Announcing the schedule, ICC General Manager – Cricket, Geoff Allardice, said: “The ICC U19 Cricket World Cup an event which provides talented youngsters an early taste of international cricket in a global setting. Countless players have come through this event, and emerged shortly afterwards on to the international arena.

“It is at this tournament that the players also receive important education on topics such anti-doping and anti-corruption, which provides them a head start on the challenges that lie ahead for professional sportsmen.

“Bangladesh has staged a number of ICC events in the past and all these have been hugely successful because of the passionate and enthusiastic crowds as well as high quality playing facilities.”

According to the event format, the 16 sides have been equally divided into four groups of four each, with the top two from each group progressing to the Super League stage and the bottom two to feature in the Plate Championship.

Apart from the 10 Test playing countries, six Associate and Affiliate Member sides – Afghanistan, Canada, Fiji, Namibia, Nepal and Scotland – will also participate after winning the various regional qualifying events.

Reflecting on his time at the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2006 in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim, said: “I played in the 2006 event and it prepared me for the international stage. So, when I went to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 the following year, I had a fairly good idea of what to expect.

“The ICC U19 Cricket World Cup is like a dress rehearsal for the senior level. It is the first stepping stone for every international cricketer. You can actually get a reasonable picture of the future. The genuine articles, the ones that are going to proceed to the next level and beyond can be identified here if you take a good look.”

West Indies Team’s Strengths for ICC T20 World Cup 2016

Much of the team’s strength lies in the duo of Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels, the same duo which single-handedly took the entire team to the door of victories in various matches in the World Cup. All-rounder Andre Russell, the equivalent of James Faulkner of Australia, could also prove as one of the strongest link to the team due to his ability to excel in both the departments (batting and bowling).

Team’s Weaknesses for ICC T20 World Cup 2016

Team’s inability to hold the opposing batsmen in the last few overs could lead the team to the path of defeats. Owing to the lack of squad depth and experience of winning matches, it would be tough for the men in maroon to lead the team to the winning ways with ease.

Batting: Chris Gayle, Marlon Samuels, Darren Sammy, Darren Bravo, and Andre Russell. Bowling: Jason Holder, Kemar Roach, Andre Russell.

Joe Root will be another batsman to watch out for in this campaign. Moeen Ali is vital too with his threatening off spin.

England T20 Team’s Weaknesses

England have to maintain their consistency, the lack of which has always proven fatal for them. Though they have the best batsmen, their failure to adapt to the foreign conditions and create wonders in every match has cost them big time, as a matter of fact.

TEAM’S WEAKNESSES:

Lack of experience and less numbers of winning games are the weaknesses of this team. There are also only a few experienced players, so, with a new set of players, it would be a risky challenge for them in the tournament.

KEY PLAYERS:

Batting: Sabbir Rahman, Mahmadullah, Mashrafe Mortaza, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Soumya Sarkar. Bowling: Rubel Hossain, Shakib Al-Hassan, Tamim Iqbal. They are the unexpected stars and they would be definitely giving us a surprising performance in this tournament too.

Zimbabwe Team Squad ICC T20 World Cup 2016

Here we bring the probable Zimbabwe Team Squad ICC T20 World Cup 2016. March will be a treat for Cricket’s fans because of the Twenty20 World Cup 2016. And nothing can be more exhilarating as the fact that it will be held in India, the country with separate heartbeats for Cricket. With the feverish mode on, expectations seem higher than the skies.

One of the least talked or concerned team, and sometimes underrated too, is Team Zimbabwe, which is contesting in this tournament with all new hopes and ambitions. Let’s see what they “Zimbabwe Team Squad ICC T20 World Cup 2016” have to offer us.

Predicted Zimbabwe Team Squad ICC T20 World Cup 2016

Elton Chigumbura (captain)
Chamu Chibhabha
Sikandar Raza
Sean Williams
Richmond Mutumbami
Craig Ervine
Malcolm Waller
Neville Madziva
Hamilton Masakadza
Chris Mpofu
Taurai Muzarabani
Graeme Cremer
Luke Jongwe
John Nyumbu
Prosper Utseya

Zimbabwe T20 Team’s Strengths

The team’s senior members are its strength. With the inclusion of Elton Chigumbara and Prosper Utseya, the team will have its mentors to look up to. Chigumbara would probably be the one to captain his side. The all-rounder has played more than 150 ODIs and when it comes to limited overs format, Zimbabwe will have their experienced man. Sikandar Raza and Hamilton Masakadza can be reliable too in important tournaments.

Zimbabwe T20 Team’s Weaknesses

Zimbabwe hardly gets to play in big tournaments and that can be said as the side’s weakest point. With no experience in major tournaments, the atmosphere and pressure usually seems alien to them and by the time they adapt themselves to the scenario, they are knocked out. To add to the misery, often they are placed with stronger teams in the group stages which makes the situation even worse. Even though there is a chance of them being putting up in some easy group, their lack of experience in T20 World Cups still remains as an obstacle.

Key Players of Zimbabwe Team Squad ICC T20 World Cup 2016

Captain Chigumbara and Sikandar Raza can make matches worth watching. Chigumbara’s experience can help the team shine. Inclusion of players like Jongwe, Cremer and Nyumbu can bring fresh ideas and actions to the team. The biggest mistake of the big teams would be to underestimate this African side, which may prove a nightmare for oppositions.
