For me the list goes as follows:

Pakistan

Zafar Gohar (In Tests and T20s, has already played 1 ODI)
Haris Rauf (In LOIs)
Naseem Shah (Possibility of all 3 depending upon fitness)
Umer Khan (In LOIs)
Haider Ali (Outside chance: It looks a long way but fingers crossed that he does well as Pak needs talent in batting department)
Omair Yousuf (Outside chance in tests)
Mohammad Musa (Outside chance in all formats)
Ammad Butt (Small chance and wishful thinking in LOIs)

Prithvi Shaw (In ODIs and T20s)

Who do you guys think can debut and should debut?

For Pakistan, Zafar HAS to be the next debutant in line. It's unbelievable how in the past 2-3 years a genuine spinner had not been inducted.
 
Didn't Prtihvi Shaw get banned for this year and next year? (something like that)
 
Steketee?

He’s not even in the pecking order for a test spot and will never be.

Yes maybe Chris Tremain has a better chance at the moment but Steketee had a pretty decent last season and is just 25 at the moment.
 
South Africa

Lock in Sinethemba Queshile for an ODI debut maybe even Tests.

Bangladesh

Saif Hassan is a good shout on the batting front and expect one of Shoriful Islam or Mrittonjoy Chowdury who are both excellent fast bowling talents to break into the senior team

Sri Lanka

Pathum Nissanka will most likely be the next Test Opener. Asitha Fernando is also another fast bowler who has bowled 12 balls in 1 ODI but might be a more common feature next year.

Afghanistan

Shahidullah Kamal will be in line as a potential replacement for Nabi in the Test team. Maybe Munir Ahmed will finally get a chance but it looks like he doesn't have any influential family members in ACB so probably not.

Qais Ahmed in ODI and T20s if AFG finally see sense in batting Rashid Khan at 7 in T20s

Fast Bolwers like Nijat Masood & Fazal Haq

West Indies

Chemar Holder is a good young quick. Also maybe an opening batsmen like Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Jeremy Solozano because Windies look to be struggling for Test Openers
 
This is one of the best U19 group of players that we have in many years - probably from 2004-06 period when that group had 8-9 players playing for BD - Mahmudullah, Shakib, Mushi, Tamim, Nafees, Shariar, Rubel, Manjarul, Shahadat, Kayes, Arafat Sunny ......

This team has crashed ENG U19 in UK and now crashing NZ away, have stressed IND U19 to last over in 3 KO games in last 1 year; and they have few very good prospects. I think, Domingo will try to replace few 30+ players before 2023 WC and that will start after the U19 WC in early 2020. I expect this team to make SF at least, but regardless, there will be few players from this batch should make the squad (s) of one or multiple formats. I believe, these are the players that will debut for BD at some point of 2020, in some format -

Akbar Ali - WK, brilliant, brilliant player in making, should serve BD for 2 decades in different levels - he'll make it after WC.
Joy (Mahmudul Hasan), Hridoy (Tawhid), Naim (Batsman one), Yasir Ali, Mritunjoy, Rishad has a very good chance. There is an outside chance of Shoriful, Tanzid & Avishek, but might not be in 2020.
