5 overseas players who can make their International debut in 2019

#3 Lloyd Pope

Pope registered best figures in the history of U-19 World Cup in 2018

There's no denying the fact that leg-spin bowling is currently the talk of the town. With more success to wrist-spinners these days, young bowlers are enticed towards picking it as their first choice in the art of spin bowling.

Lloyd Pope, another wrist spinner, who hails from the country of the greatest leg-spinner of all time, made news in the cricketing world earlier this year.

The 19-year old, who represented Australia in the U-19 World Cup in New Zealand, bowled a dream spell of 8 for 35 in the semifinal against England to spin his team towards the final.

Already dubbed as the next Shane Warne, Pope made his First-Class debut for South Australia in October 2018 and in only his second first-class game, took seven wickets for 87 runs against Queensland.

With the national side struggling for a quality spinner in the limited overs format, it won't be a surprise if Pope is thrown into the deep waters at the International level in the coming year.
