5) Luke Wright ( England )

Sussex Sharks v Gloucesterhsire - Vitality Blast
Wright had the capability and temperament to be the next Flintoff of the England Team

England Cricket Team had an excellent all-rounder in the form of Andrew Flintoff, and after his retirement, that void was filled for a limited period of time by Luke Wright. Wright made his international debut on 5th Septemeber 2007 against India. He only played 50 ODIs and 51 T20s for England and was in and out of the team due to injuries and lack of form.

He had the capability and temperament to be the next Flintoff of the England Team, but could not give performances on a regular basis. He was a decent bowler too, who with time could have only improved.
