Tony Ireland Stadium and Endeavour Park will be the host venues for the four competing nations, who will use the tournament as a key warm-up event ahead of the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup in Queensland in August this year.
The Quad Series will conclude with semi-finals on Friday 13 April and finals on Sunday 15 April and all matches are limited-overs using standard ICC One-Day International playing conditions.
