Asian Cricket Council have announced the schedule for the Eastern region qualifiers with China, Nepal and Singapore placed in Group A, while Malaysia, Bhutan, Hong Kong and Thailand are placed in Group B of the competition. After the completion of the single round-robin group stages, the top 2 team’s from each group will advance to the finals stage (semifinals and final). Myanmar withdrew from the tournament due to unforseen circumstances and hence, Group A will only have three team’s now.

UAE U19 and Kuwait U19 have qualified for U19 Asia Cup from the Western Region qualifiers held in UAE in Apr/May 2019. Asian Cricket Council (ACC) have announced on their website that only the winner of the Eastern region qualifiers will advance to the main draw, instead of two qualifiers, as announced earlier.
