Women's Under-19s Tri-Nation (in Sri Lanka) (Sierra Leone) 2023/24

The Women’s Under-19 Tri-Nation is a recurring developmental tournament for national age-grade teams. It is organized by Sri Lanka Cricket and Cricket Australia to prepare squads for the ICC Women’s U19 T20 World Cup. The event is not part of a domestic pyramid but operates as an international bilateral and multilateral arrangement.

The series brings together Sri Lanka, England, and Australia. Recent documented editions have seen matches played in Sri Lanka and Australia. In the 2024 series hosted in Sri Lanka, teams contested six T20Is and three ODIs. The format typically involves a round-robin league stage in both T20 and ODI formats. There are no finals matches. Winners are determined by points and Net Run Rate. In the 2026 edition held in Australia, Sri Lanka won the T20I series undefeated with four wins. Australia won the ODI series, securing two victories against Sri Lanka’s one.

The competition serves as high-level preparation for the U19 World Cup cycle. It is distinct from the ICC Women’s U19 T20 World Cup, which is a global championship. This tri-nation is a regional preparatory tournament. There is no evidence of a long-standing history prior to 2024 for this specific trio of nations. Earlier tri-nations involved different opponents such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, and New Zealand. The series is covered under announcements made by Sri Lanka Cricket or Cricket Australia.
