Singapore and Oman have been elevated to the ICC U19 CWC Division 1 Asia tournament based on previous results. This tournament is scheduled to be held in Sept 2021 and is the pathway event for 2022 ICC U19 Cricket World Cup. Players born on or after 01-Sep-2002 are eligible to participate in this event.

Both Singapore and Oman were scheduled to participate in the ICC U19 CWC Division 2 Asia event last year alongside Bhutan, Hong Kong, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Thailand. Due to COVID 19, ICC has decided to cancel the Division 2 tournament and promote Singapore and Oman to Division 1 event based on previous results.

Back in 2017, Singapore U19 team made history by qualifying for U19 Asia Cup and also U19 Division 1 World Cup qualifiers for the first time. Boys who were part of that U19 squad like Siddhant, Aryaman, Rohan, Janak, Aahan, Abdul Rahman & Avi now form the core of the Singapore National men’s squad. We hope that this time the boys can go one step forward and qualify for 2022 ICC U19 Cricket WorldCup.

We have shown in the past that Singapore is the ideal host for this great sport with our successful hosting India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh in the late 90s.

We believe that Singapore is the ideal destination to bridge cultures through cricket. Singapore Cricket Association is ready to celebrate this great sport and looks forward to bringing our vision to life with The IPG Group.”– Mr Mahmood Gaznavi, Hon. President of Singapore Cricket Association

Singapore has confirmed qualification to the global qualifiers for 2022 T20 World Cup scheduled to be held in Australia thanks to a recalculation of the ICC T20I rankings. This is another milestone for Singapore cricket since advancing to the globar qualifier for the first time back in 2019 where they beat Scotland and Bermuda.

Global qualifier for 2022 T20 World Cup will be 2 events of 8 teams. Top two teams from these evetns will secure their places in Australia. Zimbabwe, Nepal and UAE are the other teams alongside Singapore that automatically qualifies based on the T20 rankings. Four teams that finish bottom at the T20 World Cup in 2021 will also be granted automatic qualification.

We at SCA are deeply saddened by the loss of Dato Dr Harjit Singh. Dr Harjit was instrumental in the growth of cricket in the region as the President of Johor Cricket Council, since 1987 till the present day and the Deputy President of Malaysian Cricket Association from 1990 to 2003. He was also the founder of the first Cricket programme in primary school not only in Johor State, but also in Malaysia in 1987.

He was instrumental in his support to the SCA during SEA Games and also during 2017-2018 preparations of the Singapore National Men’s Squad by hosting the team at the Johor Cricket Association Ground and facility. We are grateful for his support over the years!

May God give strength to his family and friends to bear this loss. May he rest in peace.
