2020 U-19 World Cup: Five potential future stars to watch out for

#2 Rohail Nazir

Along with Haider Ali, skipper Rohail Nazir will act as Pakistan's two batting pillars in the World Cup

Pakistani captain Rohail Nazir is undoubtedly another future star who will look to leave his mark on the South African shores during this U-19 World Cup. This will be Nazir's second appearance at this tournament with the wicket-keeper batsman featuring in New Zealand a couple of years ago too.

Although Nazir had a somewhat inconsistent outing in New Zealand, the 18-year-old has made a lot of positive strides ever since that tournament. In September 2018, Nazir notched up a scintillating 130-run knock on his first-class debut for Islamabad in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.

More recently, Nazir also ended as the highest run-getter in the Emerging Teams Asia Cup with 302 runs in five matches. At the U-19 level too, Nazir has been incredibly consistent to build up an enviable career record. In 29 matches at this level, Nazir has scored 1116 runs so far.

Given his talent, it would be obvious that Pakistan will look at Rohail Nazir for the majority of the team's runs in the U-19 World Cup.
