#3 Axar Patel

The improvement from his early days of international cricket is more than evident, but there is still work to be done for Axar Patel, the all-rounder. He has evolved from his younger self who used to only dart the ball towards the batsman, to a canny spinner who juggles his pace and puts out his variations for the batsman to figure.
His batting seems to be the only weak spot for now, as he has struggled to come to terms with the international level, not managing to spend time at the crease and get going. He averages just over 12 with his technique not looking exactly the best.
His fielding is a bonus: quick reflexes, safe pair of hands and swift ground coverage make him an exciting prospect for the T20 team.
