ICC Champions Trophy 2017: 5 uncelebrated players who could rise for their respective nations

#3 Andile Phehlukwayo (South Africa)

The Proteas all-rounder has impressed in the few games he has played

South Africa started their preparations for the Champions Trophy scouting for all-round talent in the country. They were struggling to balance their squad with the no.7 spot a question mark until Chris Morris walked in and sealed his berth. Phehlukwayo came much later but proved to be a fearless cricketer with his hitting and uncanny bowling style.

The all-rounder can bowl a slew of cutters and slower deliveries apart from possessing a good yorker, making him a valuable asset. He emerged the leading wicket-taker in his debut series against the Aussies and showed he can excel just about anywhere when he dismissed Alex Hales and Joe Root in quick succession in the first ODI against England.

A powerful batsman down the order, Phehlukwayo helped David Miller chase down a mammoth 371 set by the Aussies in the third ODI in Durban this February. Phehlukwayo is one newbie to watch out for.
