Australia have pulled out of the Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh starting on January 27 due to security concerns.
The ICC has invited Ireland, who were runners-up in the qualifying tournament in Kuala Lumpur in October,
to replace Australia in the tournament.

I've no problem with Ireland being invited to replace Australia considering we're they finished. While Australia pulling out is a blow, I think it will be a good chance for Ireland to showcase just how far they've come.
