In November 2021, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced the complete schedule for the tournament, with matches to be played in Antigua, Guyana, St Kitts & Trinidad and also confirmed about the final to be played in Sir Vivian Richards in Antigua.

Meanwhile, New Zealand made a decision to withdraw from the tournament due to the extensive compulsory quarantine restrictions for minors on their return home, with Scotland named as their replacement.

At the same time, India registered its victory by beating England by four wickets to win their fifth ICC Under-19 Men's Cricket World Cup in the West Indies.
