Nigeria will battle Tanzania, Uganda, Namibia, Kenya and Sierra Leone in the qualifiers for a spot to the World Cup in Sri Lanka.
The World Cup will happen in 2024.
Already, the Nigerian U19 team have begun preparations ahead of the World Cup Africa Division One qualifiers on July in Tanzania.
They are currently in India for a two-week training tour.
According to the Nigeria Cricket Federation (NCF), the 19-man contingent arrived on Wednesday and settled in Mumbai at the Omtex ICWC Cricket Institute.
Later on, the team will depart on June 8 and head to Rwanda for another tour.
In an interview, the Team Manager, Joe Onoja, Thursday, said the team would engage in five friendly games with club sides in the country.
“We have arrived and have rested well. We had already begun training and making use of the facility in the institute.
“This tour will give players the right exposure and training ahead of the Qualifiers in July.
“The weather here is hot, almost about the same we get in Nigeria, so the players are used to it and everything is going on fine,” Onoja said.
