#2 Mujeeb Zadran
Another Afghan wonderkid who has broken into the limelight after a stellar show with the ball in the U-19 World Cup in New Zealand where he helped Afghanistan reach the semi-finals.
His brilliant performance earned him a maiden call-up to the national team for the World Cup Qualifiers and the 17-year old kid did not disappoint.
He played an instrumental part in Afghanistan winning the Qualifiers by being the joint most wicket taker with 17 scalps.
Performances like that earned him an IPL contract with the Kings XI Punjab franchise. He had a great IPL season before an injury forced him to miss the latter half of the tournament. With lots of good performances, Mujeeb will play a key role in Afghanistan’s debut test.
