#3 Amjad Javed, UAE

Amjad Javed has developed an image of a swing bowler as well as a big hitter

The right-arm medium pacer Amjad Javed, who first played for his country in 2008, has developed an image of a strike bowler as well as a hard hitter down the order. Javed has learnt the art of bowling outswingers to perfection and even played for UAE in the 2015 World Cup, the first time that they qualified for the tournament.

Having played four ODIs in the time frame, although Javed failed to pick up a wicket, his low economy rate of exactly four runs an over is exceptional. In seven T20s, he took 13 scalps at an average of merely 14.23 and a moderate economy of 7.12.
