Highest wicket takers of Under-19 World Cups: Where are they now?

2012 – Reece Topley

Reece Topley of England took 19 wickets in the 2012 edition

The English left-arm seam bowler Topley scalped 19 wickets at an impressive average of 9.10 to cap off the 2012 edition as the leading wicket-taker.

Topley made his debut for the senior side in 2015 and he was part of the England T20 squad that played in the ICC T20 World Cup 2016.

With a towering height of 6ft 7ins, Topley generates nice swing and he first made the headlines in 2009 when, as a 15-year-old net bowler, he got hit on his head by his favourite player Kevin Pietersen. The young star needed stitches but Pietersen left him a signed bat as a more welcome memento.

The 22-year-old is surely a bright prospect for the future.
