SA, India and SL in Under-19 tri-series ahead of WC

South Africa, India and Sri Lanka will take part in an Under-19 tri-series as part of their build-up to the age-group World Cup in New Zealand early next year.

The ten-day tournament in Johannesburg begins on December 27, with each team playing the others twice before the top two face off in the final. The tournament is likely to be the last chance to fine-tune their strategies for the World Cup, which starts less than two weeks after the final.

Sri Lanka will be confident after winning a home tri-series on Tuesday against Pakistan and Bangladesh.
