West Indies to meet India in U-19 World Cup final

West Indies were short of 10 runs with 3 wickets in hand and 19 balls to be played. Springer was seen as a No. 7 or 8 batsman when he started training with the other probables in the camps a year ago to prepare for the World Cup.

Richards said that players should be given contracts much more in advance.

Winners of the title in 2012 under Sammy’s leadership, a full-strength West Indies side would be one of the favourites to lift the title again with the likes of Chris Gayle, Bravo, Andre Russell, Kieron Pollard, Samuel Badree and the captain again in the line-up.

Certain promotional offers make it possible to watch the all-cricket network, including the Bangladesh vs. West Indies U19 Cricket World Cup semifinal match, such as the offer at this link. “When I play home we have a lot of people come and support me and my team as well”. We never played in front of such a big crowd. They arrived in early January for a bilateral series with the hosts and were blanked 3-0.

He however said that they never lost hope.

“It was a slow pitch, but 226 was not enough”, the Bangladesh captain said. They (Bangladesh) thought that we wouldn’t have changed from those first three games and I think we’ve got better and better. We had to take risks. I guess if you have good governance then you wouldn’t have problems. Skipper Shimron Hetmyer also played a big part in a crucial chase with 60 off 59 balls.

“It was a bit challenging, yes, for not getting any runs in the preliminary games to the quarter-final and semi-final”, Hetmyer admitted.

Zimbabwe coach Stephen Mangongo said there were tears in the Zimbabwe dressing room.

Mirpur: Shamar Springer shone with an all-round performance as the West Indies broke Bangladeshi hearts with a thrilling three-wicket win in the semi-finals of the International Cricket Council (ICC) U-19 World Cup at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Thursday. Their first was in 2004, when they lost to Pakistan.

Though Pope added just 16 more runs before Miraz bowled him and ran in celebration to fine-leg, West Indies had already reached 56 for 2 in seven overs and given Hetmyer and Keacy Carty the opportunity to take their time to settle down.

“It couldn’t and didn’t actively symbolize one of the best pursuits of all West Indies cricketers and is a serious objective we’re having this dialogue”.

With the deadline set at February 14 for the players to sign contracts offered by the West Indies Cricket Board for next month’s World Twenty20 in India, skipper Darren Sammy’s insistence on a doubling of the fees offered – and the WICB’s refusal to entertain any further dialogue on the matter – point toward another embarrassing outcome with far-reaching consequences for the Caribbean game.
