Several U19 stars will be hoping to light up the stage in Women's T20 WC which begins today

IT has been over a year and a half since the inaugural U19 Women's T20 World Cup in South Africa. Of the ten sides that will compete in the senior T20 WC, which begins in the United Arab Emirates on Thursday, only Australia will have no representation from the U19 WC or have given any debut to players from their junior WC squad.
From New Zealand's Izzy Gaze to Bangladesh's Marufa Akter to Sri Lanka's Vishmi Gunaratne to Seshnie Naidu of South Africa, the next generational talents will be on display in UAE. While a few from the generation that kick-started the T20 game are still around, these and many new faces are ready to make their mark.
The inaugural U19 World Cup in South Africa was a step long overdue from the ICC.
