The deadline for media accreditation applications for media planning to attend the ICC U/19 Cricket World Cup 2006 in Sri Lanka is five days away.

The deadline for applications is Saturday 10 December.

The tournament runs from 5 to 19 February at five venues in Colombo, four of which have staged Test match cricket.

If you are having difficulty in meeting the deadline for applications but still wish to be considered for media accreditation, it is essential you contact either ICC media manager Brian Murgatroyd or Mr Samantha Algama at Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) as soon as possible to make them aware of your situation. Their contact details can be found towards the end of this media release.

The application form and full terms and conditions, together with the latest information on the tournament, are available on the ICC website at:
