2022 Under-19 Cricket World Cup

The top eleven teams from the previous tournament qualified automatically. In August 2021, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that the Americas, Asia, and East Asia Pacific regional qualifiers had all been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, Canada, the United Arab Emirates and Papua New Guinea all qualified directly to the 2022 Under-19 Cricket World Cup based on their past performances in the last five regional qualifiers. In the African group, Uganda won the Division 1 tournament to become the final team to qualify. In the European group, Ireland beat Scotland in the regional final to qualify. However, in November 2021, the ICC confirmed that Scotland won a wildcard and replaced New Zealand in the tournament, after the country was forced to withdraw due to the extensive mandatory quarantine restrictions placed on the return of minors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ==Umpires==

On 9 January 2022, the ICC appointed the officials for the tournament. Along with the nineteen umpires, Denavon Hayles, Graeme Labrooy and Phil Whitticase were also named as the match referees. • Rizwan Akram • Rahul Asher • Sameer Bandekar • Nitin Bathi • Roland Black • Emmerson Carington • Allan Haggo • Mark Jameson • Heath Kearns • Arnold Maddela • Vijaya Mallela • David McLean • David Millns • Buddhi Pradhan • Sarika Prasad • Rashid Riaz • Martin Saggers • Asif Yaqoob • Jacqueline Williams ==Squad==

Each team selected a squad of fifteen players for the tournament, excluding reserves, with South Africa being the first team to name their squad. Afghanistan's departure was delayed due to visa issues, resulting in their warm-up matches being cancelled. After taking part in the 2021 ACC Under-19 Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates, the Afghanistan team flew from Dubai, via Manchester, to the Caribbean. As a result, some of the Group C fixtures were revised to accommodate Afghanistan's late arrival. ==Group stage==
