The International Cricket Council ICC has set a minimum age limit of 15 to play in any form of men’s, women’s, or under-19 international cricket.

According to the details, ICC confirmed the introduction of minimum age restrictions for international cricket to help safeguard players.

ICC in a press release said “In case of exceptional circumstances, a Member Board could apply to the ICC to allow a player under the age of 15 to play for them. This could include where the player’s playing experience and mental development and wellbeing demonstrates that they would be capable of coping with the demands of international cricket.”
