5 U19 World Cup stars who faded away

#1 Wayne Holdsworth, Australia

The highest wicket-taker of the inaugural U19 World Cup never played for Australia

At No. 1, we have another Australian star from their victorious U19 World Cup campaign in 1988. Wayne Holdsworth was the joint-highest wicket-taker of the inaugural U19 World Cup at home, with 19 wickets at an impressive average of 12.52 and an economy rate of 3.29.

He took 19 wickets despite missing the first match. Holdsworth did not have any five-wicket hauls to his name, but took wickets in every match he played. His best figures during the tournament were 4/36 against New Zealand and Pakistan during the group stages.

However, Holdsworth was never called up to play for the nation despite having nearly 250 wickets to his name in domestic cricket.
