India U-19 A and India U-19 B will play against each other in 16th and 18th December . Nepal U-19 and Afghanistan U-19 will also play against each other in 16th September and 18th september. The final of this Quadrangualr series will be between India U-19 A and India U-19 B.

Nepal U-19 and Afghanistan U-19 team are already out of title race, but I think this was the excellent opportunity for them to learn. They will play last two matches against each other.

It’s not time to criticizing our junior team. The truth is that we had no aim to win this tournament. The main target for us is to find the weakness and recover it in the upcoming Asia cup. BCCI has done great work, thank you BCCI for giving chance to Nepal U-19 team to play with other strong teams.
