van Lange: ‘To win, you have to beat everyone.’
On the back of series wins over Sri Lanka and England, the West Indies, on Tuesday evening, jetted off for the 2026 ICC Men’s Under-19 World Cup full of confidence. Captain Joshua Dorne and his deputy, Jonathan van Lange, have already settled on their objectives for the competition, which will be co-hosted by Zimbabwe and Namibia.
While Dorne, one of two returnees to the Windies side, is excited to once again experience “the exposure of playing in an ICC tournament and playing against different teams,” he has his sights set on penning a redemption arc.
Following four single-digit scores at 11.8 in the 2024 campaign, the Barbadian completed a stellar comeback in 2025, scoring 617 runs across 14 Youth Internationals at 47.46.
“Well, last time around it was pretty rough, so I learnt from that experience and came back,” he said, before determining, “[I’m] coming back stronger this time, for sure.”
