In which world is nassem shah 22 he must be 27 or 28. I also doubt about jaiswal being 23. North and central india dont have accurate birth registration process like south or west india

I hope they only considered cricketers above 17 years otherwise you can't really explain the omission of Shaun Marsh

Well, Vaibhav is above 17 so checks

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Needs Zak Foulkes and Rhys Mariu in the list

 

[trundler]

Seales has to be #1.

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

On what planet is Rehan Ahmed a worse all-format player than Shoaib Bashir? James Rew also might not be the best player in his family lol, get Thomas in there somewhere!

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Is this a yearly thing they do? Football has the NXGEN list which is always fun to look back on (and is an invaluable tool for Football Manager players!) but I don’t remember Wisden doing this before

 

[Molehill]

It was also pointed out that Rehan with 4 tons and 5 fivefers is 26 places below Bethell (none and none). I think the IPL is doing a lot of heavy lifting....

Parag made it twice

Parag made it twice

I was flabbergasted to find that Naseem Shah is still only 22, he went on to make his international debut in late 2019 so he must have been close

 

[Ali TT]

What's happened to the Nepalese guy Lamichhane? He was doing quite well in some of the pro T20 leagues but hasn't appeared in one for several years.

Got done for rape (though I believe he has since been acquitted), played at the last T20 World Cup but only in the West Indies, not in America
