I know it’s tough and I know they probably lost a lot of their mental energy after their performance with the bat in the first innings scoring a lot and they lost the second innings, but Edgbaston is important for learning.” Ahead of the series against South Africa, Bishop urged the team to stay motivated, build confidence and learn from their experiences. He said- “The Richard Boultham Trophy goes to England, but then there is the South Africa series as well. So you know one by one that you represent the people of the West Indies. Every game you play with pride. And that should be enough to give you energy and if that is not enough, you are going to play against South Africa in less than a week or about a week later. And you want to go there with confidence. So there is still a lot to learn playing for a team that is still learning.”

Meanwhile, former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop has been criticized for promoting youth. In fact, Ian Bishop had called Pakistan fast bowler Ali Raza a ‘superstar’ after taking his fourth wicket against Australia in the semi-finals of the tournament. But senior Pakistani journalist Waheed Khan gave a sharp reaction on this. Responding to this, the Bishop said that he cannot stop inspiring the youth. “When I first played senior cricket with Phil Simmons against Marshall, Garner and later Holding, I was an ambitious, wandering youth,” he wrote on his I heard he said good things about my game. This inspired me to believe in myself. I will never stop passing it on to others.” @waheedkhan I was an ambitionless, drifting teenager when I first played senior cricket with Phil Simmons, against Marshall, Garner & later, Holding. I heard they’d said nice things about my game. That inspired me to believe in myself. I’ll never stop passing that on to others. — Ian Raphael Bishop (@irbishi) February 9, 2024 Pakistan lost to Australia in the semi-finals Let us tell you that Pakistan had to face a heart-breaking defeat against Australia in the second semi-final of the Under-19 World Cup.
