Jamie Atkinson was named as the squad's captain for the 2010 World Cup.[3] The team failed to win a game in the first round, losing to England u19, India u19 and Afghanistan u19 (also in its first World Cup). The team was bowled out on each occasion but did not disgrace itself.[4] Later, in the plate stage, Hong Kong lost to Bangladesh u19 but then got revenge over Afghanistan, defeating them by four wickets. In the final game, the 13th place play-off, Hong Kong lost heavily to Zimbabwe u19, being bowled out for 98 to record its lowest score of the tournament.[4]
For the 2019 ACC Under-19 Eastern Region tournament, former national team player Jawaid Iqbal was appointed as the coach.[5] As of 2020, there was a national under-19 50-over cup used to select the national team squad.[6]
