Currently, they are the holders of both U19 Men’s and U19 Women’s World Cups, alongside the ICC Women’s World Cup, ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy.In the next couple of years, they can achieve greater success in the Women’s T20 World Cup in England, where they are the contenders and the much-anticipated ICC Men’s World Cup 2027.
