DUBAI: The ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024 Event Technical Committee has given its approval for the inclusion of Robbie Foulkes in the New Zealand squad, replacing Rahman Hekmat. Foulkes, a batting all-rounder, steps in after Hekmat suffered a lumbar bone stress injury during training, necessitating his withdrawal.

It is mandatory for the Event Technical Committee’s endorsement to be secured before a player replacement becomes official and the player is formally added to the squad.

The Event Technical Committee overseeing the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024 comprises Wasim Khan (ICC General Manager – Cricket and Chair of the ETC), Wanele Mngomezulu (Host Tournament Director), Sarah Edgar (IBC Representative), and Samuel Badree (Independent Representative).
