Nice compilation. However, Rashid Khan is just garbage.

 

[Sami92]

I think there should be an emerging/young player of the tournament award for WC.

1. Shaheen Afridi (My Pick as of now)
2. Alex Carey
3. Nicholas Pooran
4. Avishka Fernando

 

[LegendAli]

India - kuldeep and bumrah
Pak - Afridi and babbar
Bangla - new allrounder and shakib
Sri Lanka - aviska
Nz - moustache fast bowler
Aussie - berhenfoff
Eng - archer
South Africa - none
Afgh - Rashid and other spinner

Rashid is in his early 30's and pretty mediocre tbf.

 

[topspin]

Shoaib Malik

 

[JaDed]

Archer and SSA, Bumrah all bowers for me

 

[Abdullah719]

Under-25s:

 

[Bhaijaan]

Shaheen Shah Afridi without a doubt followed by Behendoor

 

[Mueez]

Babar and SSA.

Archer too.

 

[Executioner]

Avishka
Shaheen
Saifuddin
Mujeeb
Pooran

All 4 have shown great promise. Surprisingly none of these players are featuring in the semis. It shows that teams that have backed proven performers have done better

[Hyperion66]

Archer

Listed only the relatively lesser known players, didn't include already established stars playing their 1st wc like Bumrah, Pandya and Babar.

 

[Abdullah]

What the hell happened to Shai hope. I had him down as the next Babar azam

 

[Bewal Express]

Shoaib Malik

Good call, by 2027 his experience will be invaluable

 

[hafizexpress]

Bumrah!

At the age of 23 he's the best bowler in the world. Gun bowler who's capable of giving you wickets in any stage of the game.

 

[Executioner]

Why are people calling Bumrah young?

He has already played 2017 CT and 2016 WT20(Not completely sure) and he is already 25. He is among the best bowlers in the world but he is not a new kid in the block.

 

[Pakistanian]

Mujeeb is at least 24-25, ain't no way is he 18.

Shaheen is the best young player.

 

[Abdullah719]

Depends on the criterion... Archer for me.

 

[topspin]

Depends on the criterion... Archer for me.

Agreed, Archer for sure.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Babar Azam. Period.

 

[Rellu_Katta]

in terms of experience and matches played in career (not in perticular order after 1st 3 )

1) Shaheen Shah Afridi
2) Jofra Archer
3) Harris Sohail
4) Bhernoff
5) Cottrell / Pooran
6) Pant
7) Farnando
8)Shaffi ud din
9)Mujeeb

 

[Rellu_Katta]

Babar Azam. Period.

already an established player so probably should be counted in the list...

 

[Ram Shekhar]

already an established player so probably should be counted in the list...

He may be Pakistan's best batter but doesn't hide the fact that he's still a kid. What is he? 23 or 24? That counts as a youngster.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Good call, by 2027 his experience will be invaluable

By 2031 he'd be a captaincy candidate for sure

 

[Saj]

Archer was superb.

What a talent he is.

It'll be interesting how ECB manage his workload.

 

[malakian]

Archer by a mile.

 

[sweep_shot]

Shaheen wins this one easily. Had he played more games, he could've been close to Starc's 27 wickets.

Great bowler.

 

[Sunzi]

LOL Whats young. Guys naming players who are 25+

 

[ChTab]

This one goes to Shaheen Shah without any doubt.

 

[ChTab]

India - kuldeep and bumrah
Pak - Afridi and babbar
Bangla - new allrounder and shakib
Sri Lanka - aviska
Nz - moustache fast bowler
Aussie - berhenfoff

Why Shakib is in list for young players???

 

[Abdulm123]

Bowler- Archer/SSA
Batsman- Fernando/Pooran

 

[hadi123]

Under-25s:

Wow I had no idea AL Phehlukwayo was this young. He looks a lot older than he is!

 

[Slog]

India - kuldeep and bumrah
Pak - Afridi and babbar
Bangla - new allrounder and shakib
Sri Lanka - aviska
Nz - moustache fast bowler
Aussie - berhenfoff

25 isn’t young lol why including Bumrah.

And this is his like 3rd ICC tournament.

I would only have a list with people in their first ICC tournament for ‘young’ breakout star

 

[SLcric123]

Definitely Jofra Archer because he was one of the top players of this tournament.
