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

ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup (2018)

Alick Athanaze dominated the runs chart for most of the tournament and is surely one to look out for.

This year's tournament returned to New Zealand, as 16 of the top under-19 sides locked horns in the picturesque backdrop of the beautiful country. Sri Lanka overcame West Indies by 3 wickets in the plate final of the tournament. Here are some of the brightest prospects from the tournament so far:

Indian pace duo, Shivam Mavi and Kamlesh Nagarkoti bowled at lightning quick pace and look all set to become hot international properties. Shubman Gill showcased exemplary consistency with the bat.

Sri Lankan all-rounder Hasitha Boyagoda scored 191 runs from 152 balls against Kenya in the plate quarterfinals and seems like a utility limited over option.

Afghan slow bowler Qais Ahmed spun a web around every other batsman in the tournament and is looking to follow compatriot Rashid Khan's footsteps.

Australian spinner Lloyd Pope had an insane quarterfinal against England as he scalped 8 wickets for just 35 runs. He needs to work on his consistency to proceed to the next level.
