BCB PRO Simon Naidu has said the tournament commenced in 2019 and the final match was set for play in March 2020, but onset of the COVID-19 pandemic had forced its postponement. After obtaining permission of the sponsor, the new date and venue was decided in consultation with the local representative.
The Rose Hall Town Namilco Thunderbolt team would be without the services of Captain Kevin Sinclair, who is on international duty with the West Indies. West Indies Under-19 player Kelvon Anderson would lead that team, being ably supported by Keith Simpson, Slyus Tyndall, Junior Sinclair, Mahendra Gopilall, Jeremy Sandia, Jonathan Rampersaud, Chanderpaul Govindan and Tyreese Sealey.
The Albion team would be led by former national youth player Adrian Sukwah, who is expected to be ably supported by players such as Sarwan Chaitnarine, Mahendra Chaitnarine, Gourav Ramesh, Kelvin Umroa, Antonio Fredricks and Jeetendra Autar.

BCB President Hilbert Foster has said there are 8 final matches to be played off from the suspended 2019/2020 season, and the BCB is seeking to play them off by the end of April because there are plans to host approximately 35 different tournaments in the 2021 season.
The 2021 under-21 tournament would start shortly after this current final has been played, and would be contested by approximately 20 teams in a knockout format.
