ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup: The prodigies and where are they now

ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup (2016)

Nepal's Sandeep Lamichhane caught the attention of Michael Clarke and IPL outfit Delhi Daredevils.

Bangladesh hosted this year's competition that saw West Indies take on India in the final. The former triumphed by 5 wickets as India managed to drag the game to the last over even after setting a target of just 146. Afghanistan won the plate championship after knocking on the doors for a few years.

England's Jack Burnham scored 3 centuries in the tournament to climb to the top of the runs chart. Since then, consistency has eluded him. He currently plies his trade with Durham. Namibia's Fritz Coetzee took 15 wickets throughout the tournament and remains to be his national side's cornerstone player.

Second highest wicket-taker, Sandeep Lamichhane became the first Nepalese player to play in the Indian Premier League, when he was picked up by Delhi Daredevils in the 2018 player auction. Other youngsters who have already grabbed headlines are Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar, Sarfaraz Khan, Mason Crane, Rashid Khan, Alzarri Joseph, Lahiru Kumara, and Jhye Richardson.
