Ashes 2017/18: Five English cricketers to watch out for

Dawid Malan

Malan would look to make his mark

30-year-old Dawid Malan is an experienced County cricketer, having played for Middlesex for the last ten years. Previously identified as a player who could represent England, Malan experienced a dip in form for over two years which led to him losing his chance of making it to the national team.

During his barren spell with the bat, Malan continued to persevere. A hundred, scored after two years, brought back confidence in the player, and his ability and grit have helped him shone through, with some spellbinding innings earning him a call-up to face the mighty Aussies.

Malan is a calm customer and could be England's answer to what is being considered the weakest batting order to ever play the Ashes.
