Just like Thando Ntini, one other player in the 2018 under-19 World Cup who will be looking to carry forward his father's legacy is the son of former Australian skipper Steve Waugh, Austin.

Just like his father, Austin Waugh is an all-rounder, who bats right-handed and bowls right-arm medium pace. Waugh, whose favourite cricketer is late Australian batsman Phi Hughes for his free-flowing technique with the bat, likens his game to that of India all-rounder Hardik Pandya.

In 2016, Waugh had hit an unbeaten hundred in the final of the Under-17 National Championships against Queensland before representing Australia U-19s in early 2017.

A lot is expected from Austin in the upcoming World Cup as he is an exciting talent who we can see in the Aussie colours in the near future.
