Five promising cricketers who can own 2021

Shaheen Afridi

It’s always a healthy sign when we see young budding sensations jolting the doors of international cricket based on their tons of performances in the domestic circuit. With cricket now utterly being an annual affair for its established players, such young cricketers can widely be utilized in the form of workload management and injuries. However, such opportunities apart from getting the gist of international cricket also sometimes can tenaciously help a player to seal his deal in terms of representing his country. Hence here’s a list of five young cricketers who have sealed their deal and can be seen a lot more in 2021.

5. Will Pucovski

Being appropriately called as the opulent future of Australia’s batting, Will Pucovski has now finally made his international Test debut for Australia. His first innings score of 62 in the ongoing Test match has already given us a momentary view on why he should be partnering with David Warner in Tests. With Australia being done and dusted with most of their opening combinations, Pucovski now might get a viable term for his opening slot thus making him an interesting prospect to watch out in 2021.

4. Dom Sibley

A classical cricketer who relishes the opportunity to bat all day has finally looked to solve England’s opening batting conundrum. Since his debut in late 2019, Sibley has been in top-notch form for England and has produced two match-winning hundreds. Although his technique has always been a subject of criticism, Sibley’s prowess to patiently accumulate the crease is his key trait. With England now touring to Sub-continent conditions it will be interesting to see how Sibley combats those challenges in 2021.

3. Nicholas Pooran

Profound hand-eye coordination along with the ability to smash the ball towards all parts of the park makes Nicholas Pooran a punitive threat for any side. There’s always a feeling of injustice to his exuberant talent whenever he gets out cheaply. But with a plethora of T20 opportunities which includes an IPL and a T20 World Cup, it looks like there’s a tailor-made 2021waiting for Pooran. Although West Indies has a lethal and a jam-packed lower-middle order it will be captivating to see how Pooran bats with his seniors.

2. Kyle Jamieson

A 6 feet 8 inches tall right-arm fast bowler who has grabbed 36 Test wickets from his mere 6 Test matches that too including four five-wicket hauls has earmarked some serious talent and hunger for his team. Not only was it a dream debut year (2020) for him but has also fetched him one of the fast bowling slots in both Tests and ODIs. He is one of the budding sensations in terms of the upcoming fast-bowling crop in international cricket and it will be engrossing to see him perform brilliantly outside New Zealand.

1. Shaheen Afridi

Another tall 6 feet left-arm fast bowler who has emerged as a formidable pacer for Pakistan since his debut in late 2018 had an impressive 2020. His ability to bowl pinpoint yorkers along with some other variations makes him a potent threat during the death overs. In order to disrupt the upcoming World T20 with their uncertainty and unpredictability, Pakistan would be highly demanding that Shaheen Afridi continues to have an impressive 2021.
