History

Organised under-19 international cricket dates only from the 1970s – the first under-19 Test and One Day International (ODI) matches were played in 1974 and 1976, respectively,[1][2] while the first Under-19 World Cup was held in 1988.[3] The first recorded international matches for the Botswana under-19s came at the 2007 Africa Under-19 Championship. The team placed second in its group, but lost to Kenya in the semi-finals and to Uganda in the third-place play-off, finishing in fourth place overall.[4]
