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] Singapore's first international tournament was the 1997 Youth Asia Cup in Hong Kong.[4] The team defeated Fiji in its first match, but lost to Hong Kong and Papua New Guinea in the other two games.[5] Singapore hosted the 1999 Youth Asia Cup, but again failed to progress past the group stage.[6] That trend continued at the 2003 Youth Asia Cup in Pakistan, where Singapore won only a single match (against Qatar).[7] At the 2005 ACC Under-19 Cup, however, Singapore finished second in its group, subsequently losing to Nepal in the quarter-finals. The team recorded its best-ever finish at the 2007 ACC Under-19 Elite Cup, placing fifth.[8] Singapore was less successful in subsequent tournaments, and after placing ninth at the 2011 ACC Under-19 Elite Cup was relegated to the second-division qualifier, the 2013 ACC Under-19 Challenge Cup.[4] The Under-19 team recently played the U19 CWC Qualifier - Asia[9], in Malaysia.
