History

edit

The inaugural Women's Under-19 World Cup was scheduled to take place in January 2021, but was postponed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The tournament was eventually scheduled to take place in 2023, in South Africa. As a Full Member of the ICC, Zimbabwe qualified automatically for the tournament.[4]

Zimbabwe announced their 15-player squad for the tournament on 7 December 2022. Trevor Phiri was announced as Head Coach of the side.[5] The side finished bottom of the initial group stage at the tournament, and lost a subsequent play-off against Indonesia.[2]
