ICC Chief Executive, Geoff Allardice said, "We are delighted with the successful hosting of the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2022.
"The scale of the operation, hosting 16 teams across four countries during a global pandemic is extremely challenging, but our hosts did an excellent job to ensure we could give the opportunity to the future stars of the game to play in a World Cup."
"We share our thanks with Cricket West Indies, the four host countries, the players and match officials. Also, congratulations to India for winning the 2022 edition in what was a thoroughly deserved achievement," Allardice added.
