Caribbean Premier League 2018: Five players pushing for IPL selections

#4 - Shimron Hetmyer (West Indies)

The 21-year-old has a bright future ahead of him

Shimron Hetmer, too, been in and around international cricket for the past one year. Since his international debut in April of last year, he has played twenty-odd international matches.

However, this year's CPL was truly the coming of age for this young West Indian top-order batsman. The left-hander's free-flowing stroke play, aggressive mindset, and ability to strike the ball big have led to him being immensely successful in the tournament - in 11 innings, he has scored 425 runs at an average 42.5 and a strike rate of 148.6.

Further, the southpaw's brilliant performances have contributed immensely to his team's fortunes, as the Guyana Amazon Warriors look to triumph in the final later today.

Lastly, his ability to play spin well and attack spinners will make him an even more lucrative prospect for IPL franchises.
