Confirmation has come from the ICC regarding the participation of two Bangladeshis, Masudur Rahman Mukul and Gazi Sohail, in the umpire panel for the Under-19 World Cup in South Africa. Gazi Sohail has been assigned the responsibility of managing the opening match between South Africa and Windies, alongside Ireland's Roland Black.
In a preparatory match for the Under-19 World Cup, Bangladesh faced a significant defeat against Sri Lanka. The island nation showcased a revengeful performance, securing a 112-run victory in a rain-affected warm-up encounter at the Schwan University of Technology Oval in Pretoria.
