Best Young Talents from Each Nation

[Thala_0710]

Discussion thread for some of the best young talents around the world. I tried to compile a list of the best one (or one of the best) from each nation. Add on and suggest others from each country. I've done it only for test playing nations but feel free to add on others as well.
I included only those guys who don't have much intl experience as of now (< 10 intl matches in every format).
AFG: Darwish Rasooli
AUS: Fergus O'Neill
BAN: Nahid Rana
ENG: James Rew
IND: Sai Sudharsan
IRE: Matthew Humphreys
NZ: Muhammad Abbas
PAK: Ali Raza
SA: Dewald Brevis
SL: Pasindu Sooryabandara
WI: Shamar Joseph
ZIM: Antum Naqvi

Just realized that these guys also form a nice xi which would be a pretty decent test side tbh:
Sai Sudharsan
Darwish Rasooli*
Muhammad Abbas
Pasindu Sooryabandara
Dewald Brevis
Antum Naqvi
James Rew+
Fergus O'Neill
Matthew Humphreys
Shamar Joseph
Nahid Rana
Ali Raza (12th man)

Define young.

And also Shamar is a meh pick. Seales is already much more proven and 2 years younger.

Under 23 ideally, a bit older works as well but they ought to be a bit unproven at the intl level still (I took < 10 intl matches in any format as the cutoff).
Seales is ofc great but he's got 75 test wkts already and is well proven there. Wanted to discuss more guys coming through at the top level, who are either yet to debut, or have played a handful of games only.

Rhys Mariu NZ

Edit: turned 23 in Dec so might be too old

I am not sold on him at all, but shan't India's pick be Suryavanshi?

Vraj Patel averages 13 in T20s for Kenya against associate batting. Definitely something there

Naqvi’s mid-20s. Brian Bennett is surely Zimbabwe’s choice here?

I was going for guys who have no or very limited intl experience as of now, Bennett has already played about 50 intl matches for Zimbabwe.

Pfft. Most of those are T20s. And at least he qualifies as a 'young talent'. 26 surely doesn't.

Let's change young talent to relatively unknown talent then

Eeesh. Then you're letting in any 30+ year old NZ journeyman when Steady Stead is at the helm. Crikey!

WI have 18 year old Jewel Andrew. He’s been in the ODI squad for two series so far…Will soon crack in.

He’s a keeper, but batsman first.

Feels like it is one of Brevis, Maphaka and Pretorius.

Along with Stubbs, Jansen, Coetzee we should have a good core for a while.
