Top 10 ACC U19 Asia Cup Most Runs List


We all watch the highest level of international cricket on our television or digital platforms. However, the real game begins when those international stars are still teenagers, representing their junior national sides for the first time. That’s why the U-19 cricketing circuit is so important, with many international events being hosted, like the ACC U-19 Asia Cup.

The tournament takes place every couple of years after the first edition of the U19 Asia Cup took place in 1989. Since then, several records have been made and even broken in this tournament hosted by the Asian Cricket Council. Some players who start early end up playing more than one edition of the U19 Asia Cup and here on this page, we’re looking at the top run scorers in this competition till date.

Sami Aslam also holds the records for the most fifties and most hundreds in the competition’s history, with 4 each. We don’t think anyone will be beating his runs tally in this tournament any time soon, unless we see more teams being added and longer schedules per tournament. In terms of averages, Shibli leads the charts by a long way, scoring at 126 in his 5 innings!

Who has the most runs in U19 Asia Cup history?

While Sami leads the list, there’s one player who could also climb a few positions here, in Pakistan’s Shahzaib Khan. Currently, he’s sitting right outside the top 10, with 327 runs in just 5 matches. He’s currently playing his second U19 Asia Cup and smashed 159 in the first game of his campaign, against India U-19.

India’s Vaibhav Suryavanshi debuted in the U-19 Asia Cup in the 2024 edition at the age of only 13 years, so he’s likely to play at least 3 editions of this tournament over time. If there’s someone who can challenge Aslam’s position at the top, it’s only this boy, who also become the youngest crorepati at the IPL 2025 Auction, where he bagged a contract of 1.1 Crore.
