“It is disappointing that Code of Conduct charges needed to be laid after such a closely contested match, but it is important to reinforce the standard of behavior that will be expected of these young players should they transition to senior international cricket” Geoff Allardice, ICC General Manager Cricket said after the U19 World Cup final.
