Additional: This stamp was originally scheduled for release on March 4, 2004 but the first day ceremony was cancelled. A few covers made it to the market and collectors were able to obtain a few stamps. It was most people's belief that the stamp would be issued at a later date, and it eventually was. Only the cancellation is different from the earlier one.

• Those who predicted the stamp would be released at a later date were correct. It was released on 19 July, 2006. The stamp and cachet are the same but the commemorative FDC cancellation is different. It reads, "ICC U/19 CRICKET WORLD CUP, Bangladesh 2004".
