HAMPSHIRE TEEN CAPTAIN ENGLAND IN U19 WORLD CUP

13/1/2022

Hampshire teenager Tom Prest helped himself to a quick fire 91 as England ran up an enormous 359-7 in their pre-ICC Under-19 CWC warm-up match against Papua New Guinea in St Kitts.
Prest, who will captain in the tournament, hit two sixes and eight fours, scoring his 91 off 77 balls. Papua New Guinea were dismissed for 78.
​England have not won the tournament since 1998 but have a chance to prove their credentials from the off against defending champions Bangladesh on Sunday. 
England will also face Canada and United Arab Emirates in Group A and captain Tom Prest is confident they can make a run at the title.
“Obviously, we’ve come over here with the intention of winning the tournament. That’s kind of our ultimate goal as a side,” he said.
“We’ve had good run outs against West Indies and Sri Lanka in the summer series in England and then we went out to Sri Lanka before Christmas in December.  
“We’ve had good experience against some good quality international sides, so it will be a great experience for us all to play against more opposition, top-class players from all around the world. Hopefully we can come out on top. 
“It would be amazing to win. To even be at a global tournament, at a World Cup is a great feeling for all of us. I think to win the tournament as well would be an unbelievable feeling for all of us.”
