Prithvi Shaw, captain of India’s U-19 World Cup team, today said his team has prepared well under the guidance of Rahul Dravid and the goal is to return home with the title. The ICC U-19 World Cup officially got underway at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch with an impressive ceremony showcasing New Zealand’s culture. Warm-up matches will be held from tomorrow while the tournament proper gets underway on January 13 with matches spread across seven venues in the cities of Christchurch, Queenstown, Tauranga and Whangarei.
Shaw said, “We’ve been here for a week now, played a couple of games. Everything has gone well, the preparation of the team has been good. Our goal is to win the World Cup but at the same time we are looking forward to our first game against Australia on January 13. Let’s see how the process goes.”
The tournament winners will be crowned in Tauranga on February 3.
