Pakistan Under 17s will be touring England next month for 3 one day internationals and a 3 day match to be played at Loughborough. This will be the next group of under 19 cricketers at the 2016 ICC Under 19 Cricket World Cup in Bangladesh. Imran Rafiq will lead Pakistan, a member of the 2014 ICC U-19 World Cup squad.
South Africa under 19s are touring England, the winners of the 16 team Under 19 championship in the UAE this year. They will be playing a live match at Derby against England, just like Pakistan did last year. The ECB are giving further international opportunities to their current 19 year olds as well as keeping one eye on the future with an eye on the next juniors World Cup event. England finished in 5th place in 2012, 3rd place in 2014, but haven't won it since the turn of the century.
