5 U19 World Cup stars who faded away

#2 Brett Williams, Australia

The top-scorer of the inaugural U19 World Cup never played for Australia and featured in only seven matches in domestic cricket

Australia were crowned the champions of the inaugural edition of the U19 World Cup (then known as the Youth World Championship) in 1988 at home. One of the biggest reasons for their success was the batting performances of opener Brett Williams. Williams was the highest run-scorer of the tournament, with 471 runs, the second most number of runs in a single edition of the U19 World Cup.

Williams scored two centuries during the course of the tournament, including one against Pakistan in the final at Adelaide. However, Williams could not produce such brilliant performances at the senior level. He played just seven matches in domestic cricket and never played international cricket. His last professional cricket match came in 1990.
