Najmul Hossain Shanto | Bangladesh | null | Left hand Bat | Right arm Offbreak | Top order Batter | Nazmul Hossain Shanto emerged from an unusual source in Bangladesh cricket - the schools.

Afif Hossain | Bangladesh | null | Left hand Bat | Right arm Offbreak | Allrounder | Bangladesh left-hander Afif Hossain made his T20I debut in 2017 and impressed right away in his second game with a 26-ball 52 at No. 8 in a narrow win over Zimbabwe.

Nurul Hasan | Bangladesh | null | Right hand Bat | null | Wicketkeeper Batter | Nurul Hasan, who made his first-class debut in 2011, is one of a whole host of talented Bangladesh wicketkeepers who had to wait his turn to play international cricket.

Sikandar Raza | Zimbabwe | Right hand Bat | Right arm Offbreak | Batting Allrounder | Sikandar Raza's story isn't that of your everyday international cricketer. He is not a teenage prodigy, nor is he someone who had a burning ambition to play for his country.

Tendai Chatara | Zimbabwe | Right hand Bat | Right arm Fast medium | Bowler | The first thing one notices when watching Tendai Chatara bowl is his curiously lopsided action, his left arm almost glued to his side as he rushes through the crease.

Taskin Ahmed | Bangladesh | null | Left hand Bat | Right arm Fast | Bowler | Even before he was anywhere near making his international debut, Taskin Ahmed became an internet sensation.

Liam Livingstone | England | null | Right hand Bat | Legbreak | Batting Allrounder | The sense that Liam Livingstone is a domineering batting talent who will end up playing all three formats for England was strengthened by an excellent maiden Championship double-century for Lancashire against Warwickshire at Old Trafford in 2017.

Chris Woakes | England | null | Right hand Bat | Right arm Fast medium | Allrounder | By the time Chris Woakes returned from England's tour to South Africa at the start of 2016, he feared his Test career was over.
