Mithun made his international debut in 2014 and looked in a great touch in the tournament, probably cementing his place in Bangladesh's team. He showed some great intent with two fifties in this tournament while batting in the middle order. If he continues to do so in the coming few months as well, then he looks assured of featuring in Bangladesh's playing XI in CWC 2019.


#3 Shaheen Afridi (Pakistan)

One of the most talked about Pakistani players is Shaheen Afridi. He was the rising star in the recent edition of Pakistan Super League and he continued impressing in the Asia Cup as well. Afridi took four wickets in three games and at just 18 years of age, he is just going to grow as a player and is most likely to be a part of Pakistan's World Cup squad.


#4 Asif Ali (Pakistan)

He gained limelight in the Pakistan Super League, through which he earned a call-up in the national side. He showed his clean hitting abilities in this Asia Cup as well and if he is able to find form against his name, then he can play the major role of a finisher in the Pakistan team at the World Cup as well.
