The 2022 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup qualification were a series of regional qualification tournaments to determine the final five places at the 2022 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[1] Seven tournaments in five regions were scheduled to be played.[1] In March 2021, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Division 2 tournament in Asia had been cancelled.[2] The Division 2 tournament in Africa was initially postponed,[2] before it was also cancelled.[3] In August 2021, the ICC also announced that the Americas, Asia, and East Asia-Pacific (EAP) regional qualifiers had all been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] As a result, Canada, the United Arab Emirates and Papua New Guinea all qualified directly to the 2022 Under-19 Cricket World Cup based on their past performances in the last five regional qualifiers.[5] In the African group, Uganda won the Division 1 tournament to become the final team to qualify.[6] In the European group, Ireland beat Scotland in the regional final to qualify.[7] However, in November 2021, the ICC confirmed that Scotland had replaced New Zealand in the 2022 Under-19 Cricket World Cup, after New Zealand were forced to withdraw due to the extensive mandatory quarantine restrictions placed on the return of minors due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8]
