Kamlesh Nagarkoti (India)

Kamlesh

India's latest fast bowling sensation Kamlesh Nagarkoti has grabbed quite a few eyeballs with his swashbuckling performance in this tournament. Nagarkoti picked up only nine wickets in six innings but his searing pace stood out.

Ad

Nagarkoti was impressive with the new ball and his ability to bowl yorkers in the death overs was a big plus for his team. His best figures of the tournament read 3-18, which came against Bangladesh.

The 18-year-old had an economy rate of 3.48 in six innings.


Faisal Jamkhandi(Canada)

Fai

Canada's fast bowler Faisal Jamkhandi picked up 14 wickets in six innings. Because he played the role of a wicket-taker for his team, the youngster ended up conceding a lot of runs.

Ad

His economy rate of 6.76 was a worrying sign for his team but he picked up wickets when other bowlers were putting pressure on the other end.

The 18-year-old is a perfect choice to go with economical bowlers like Anukul Roy and Qais Ahmad.


Shaheen Shah Afridi (Pakistan)

Shae

Pakistan is famous for producing fast bowlers and Shaheen, who is known as the Mitchell Starc of Pakistan, picked 12 wickets in five innings.

Ad

His bowling average of about 14 was impressive and his economy rate of 3.61 is scintillating for a bowler who bowls in the power play and at the back end of the innings.

Shaheen is definitely a future prospect for Pakistan.

Other names which were considered:

Akash Gill(Canada)

Keagan Simmons(West Indies)

Jakob Bhula(New Zealand)

Shivam Mavi(India)
