Earlier, ICC announced the names of the players shortlisted for the Player of the Tournament award for their outstanding performances throughout the tournament. While three players from the Indian team have been given a place, two players from South Africa and one player each from the Australian, Pakistan and West Indian teams have been shortlisted.

Apart from captain Uday Saharan, these two players were also shortlisted

The Indian U19 team has put in an unbeatable performance so far in this World Cup en route to the finals. The main reason for this was that all the team’s players played their roles better on the field. Apart from India Under-19 captain Uday Saharan, Musheer Khan and Saumya Pandey also have a place in the shortlist for the ICC Player of the Tournament. While Uday has scored 389 runs in 6 games so far in this tournament at an average of 64.83, Musheer Khan has also scored 338 runs in 6 games at an average of 67.60. Saumya Pandey has shown his magic with the ball, picking up 17 wickets in 6 matches at an average of 8.47.
