#3 Travis Head (Australia)

In a year full of controversies and emotional turmoil, Travis Head has been a silver lining for the baggy greens. After the Warner-Smith Ball tampering fiasco, Head has consistently featured presence for the Australian's across all formats. An average of just a shade under 35 doesn't aptly showcase the skill, temperament, and technical prowess the 25-year-old possesses. One hopes with age on his side, he makes the most of his incredible talent.

#4 Shai Hope (West Indies)

Of late, the West Indian team has shown signs of promise and one of the reasons behind their rise is Shai Hope. His exploits against the Indians in December last year spoke volumes about his talent and capability. The ability to play watchfully is what separates him from the present bunch of West Indian cricketers. Hope's willingness to play the sheet anchor's role allows his teammates to play their natural game

#5 Kusal Mendis (Sri Lanka)

Young, confident, and aggressive, Kusal Mendis can play the floater's role for Sri Lanka effortlessly. An average of under 30 in 50-over cricket is certainly not doing justice to his talent. Mendis can stick around and let everyone bat around him but also pull-off the big strokes if needed
