Matthew Wade | Australia | null | Left hand Bat | Right arm Medium | Wicketkeeper Batter | It has been a career of reinvention for Matthew Wade as he went from Test wicketkeeper to specialist middle-order batsman to T20I World Cup winning wicketkeeper/finisher via a prolific run in domestic cricket when it appeared his international days were over. |
Mitchell Starc | Australia | null | Left hand Bat | Left arm Fast | Bowler | First there was Johnson, then there was Starc. A left-armer called Mitchell has been a staple of Australia's attack for more than a decade and seems set to remain so for the foreseeable future. While Johnson was more express, Starc is still quick enough to make life uncomfortable for opposition batsmen, especially with... |
Tony Munyonga | Zimbabwe | null | Right hand Bat | Right arm Offbreak | Allrounder | null |
Wellington Masakadza | Zimbabwe | null | Left hand Bat | Slow Left arm Orthodox | Bowler | null |
Danushka Gunathilaka | Sri Lanka | null | Left hand Bat | Right arm Offbreak | Allrounder | A poised, attacking left-handed opener groomed in part at Sinhalese Sports Club, Danushka Gunathilaka was plucked from the domestic system largely on potential, and drafted into Sri Lanka's A team for the tour of New Zealand in mid-2015. He impressed on that trip, hitting two smart fifties from four innings, to finish ... |
Stephan Myburgh | Netherlands | null | Left hand Bat | Right arm Offbreak | Opening Batter | null |
Brandon Glover | Netherlands | null | Right hand Bat | Right arm Fast | Bowler | A Dutch-South African fast bowler, Brandon Glover left South Africa after a call from Netherlands coach Ryan Campbell, who convinced him to put his Dutch passport to good use after he had finished his accounting degree. He had played Under-19 cricket for South Africa, but was enticed by the opportunity to play regular ... |
Fakhar Zaman | Pakistan | null | Left hand Bat | Slow Left arm Orthodox | Opening Batter | Born in Mardan, where the standard of batsmanship will always be measured by arguably Pakistan's greatest Test batsman Younis Khan, Fakhar Zaman has been on Pakistan's thankless domestic circuit for over five years with almost no attention. A left-handed opener with an unusually high backlift, Zaman relies on timing fo... |
Alishan Sharafu | U.A.E. | null | Right hand Bat | Right arm Medium | Opening Batter | null |
Zane Green | Namibia | null | Left hand Bat | null | Wicketkeeper Batter | null |
Ruben Trumpelmann | Namibia | null | Right hand Bat | Left arm Fast | Bowler | null |
Ahmed Raza | U.A.E. | null | Right hand Bat | Slow Left arm Orthodox | Bowler | Six-foot-five Ahmed Raza is best known for his economical spells of left-arm spin. In a must-win World Cricket Division Two game for UAE against Oman in 2018, he conceded only 16 runs in nine overs for two wickets, and in an Asia Cup match against Oman in 2016, he took 1 for 6 from three overs. |
Regis Chakabva(c) | Zimbabwe | null | Right hand Bat | Right arm Offbreak | Wicketkeeper Batter | A doughty wicketkeeper-batsman, Regis Chakabva's path in cricket took him through Highfields, Churchill, on to Takashinga, provincial cricket and eventually regular appearances in Zimbabwe's Twenty20, ODI and Test teams. At each level, Chakabva has improved his game and he is maturing into a fine batsman and tidy wicke... |
Hazratullah Zazai | Afghanistan | null | Left hand Bat | Slow Left arm Orthodox | Opening Batter | Afghanistan's ascent up the global rankings from ICC Associate nation to Full Member and Test status has been largely propelled by a conveyor belt of fast bowling and mystery spin. But the country has struggled to unearth quality batting prospects at the same rate as their bowling unit. The emergence of the hard-hittin... |
Shoriful Islam | Bangladesh | null | Left hand Bat | Left arm Medium fast | Bowler | At 6ft three inches, Shoriful Islam became a left-arm pace sensation almost overnight, when he starred in Bangladesh's 2020 Under-19 World Cup triumph. He took nine wickets, but it was his aggression and pace in the knockout games against South Africa, New Zealand and (in the final against) India that stood out. |
Phil Salt | England | null | Right hand Bat | Right arm Offbreak | Wicketkeeper Batter | Phil Salt's fearless ball-striking at the top of the Sussex order earned him attention from across the global T20 circuit and a maiden England call-up in 2019, though he was made to wait until 2021 for his debut when he performed a passable impression of Jason Roy in the Covid-hit ODI series against Pakistan. |
Ashton Agar | Australia | null | Left hand Bat | Slow Left arm Orthodox | Bowler | Ashton Agar initially turned almost as many heads as he has turned cricket balls. At the age of 19 he had a place in the squads of Western Australia, Perth Scorchers, and the national team, having sensationally been upgraded from an internship on the 2013 tour of India to a more expansive role in Michael Clarke's squad... |
Heinrich Klaasen | South Africa | null | Right hand Bat | Right arm Offbreak | Wicketkeeper Batter | A clean-hitting, wicketkeeper batsman, Heinrich Klaasen emerged on the scene at the same time that Quinton de Kock nailed down a place in the South African team, across all formats. As someone who had always combined the disciplines of batting and glovework, Klaasen hoped to make it in either skill and establish himsel... |
Timm van der Gugten | Netherlands | null | Right hand Bat | Right arm Fast medium | Bowler | Timm van der Gugten, born in Sydney, made his first-class debut for New South Wales in November 2011. He was called up to the Netherlands the following year for World Twenty20 in the West Indies and made his debut at 21. He also represented the Netherlands at two subsequent World Twenty20s where he has carried one of t... |
