Nigeria Cricket Federation (NCF) will be hosting the Division 2 qualifier for the Africa region for the 2024 ICC Men’s U19 Cricket World Cup from September 30th – October 08th, 2022 at Abuja. NCF will host U19 teams representing Kenya, Malawi, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Botswana, Rwanda and Mozambique in the 8-team event, from which the two (2) finalists plus the third-placed team will qualify to compete at the Africa Division 1 qualifier in 2023 where they will be joined by Namibia, Tanzania and Uganda, who enter the qualification pathway at this stage.

Group A consists of teams from Kenya and Malawi (Ghana and Mozambique did not compete due to travel and VISA issues and their matches were forfeit), while Group B consists of teams from Sierra Leone, Botswana, Rwanda and the host’s Nigeria. All teams will play against the others in their groups in a single round-robin group stage format, following which the top two (2) teams in the points table will advance to the semifinals.
