Anderson has played in the U19 World Cups of 2008 (in Malaysia) and 2010 (in New Zealand).

“The 16-team tournament that will bring together the world’s future cricket stars,” ICC said.

The tournament will be held between 13 January to 3 February across four cities and seven venues.

“It is extremely exciting to be involved again in the U19 World Cup. I played two of them – it is the first stepping stone to playing international cricket. You go from playing domestic cricket to playing international cricket – it’s a big step but it’s a step that is necessary,” Corey Anderson said.

The 26-year-old all-rounder made his international debut in 2012 and to date has scored 683 runs and bagged 16 wickets in 13 Tests, accumulated 1109 runs and grabbed 60 wickets in 49 ODIs, and has 432 runs and 14 wickets in 29 T20Is.

Anderson, who scored 324 runs in 10 matches with four half-centuries across the two editions of the tournament, has been representing New Zealand regularly in all three formats of the game.
