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

ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup (2004)

Alastair Cook surpassed all expectation and became one of England's greatest.

Bangladesh hosted their first major ICC tournament this term as Pakistan beat West Indies by 25 runs to win their first title in the competition. This was the first time that the side batting first in the final won the tournament. The hosts embarrassed defending champions Australia in the plate final of the competition.

Shikhar Dhawan came to the fore in this tournament topping the batting chart by quite some distance. He has been a mainstay in the Indian side, after waiting for 6 years for his senior debut. Enamul Haque of Bangladesh routed opposition's batting lineup to amass 22 wickets in the tournament. Up until 2013, he had represented his nation in 15 tests and 10 ODIs.

Other prominent players to feature in the tournament were Eoin Morgan (who represented Ireland), Suresh Raina, Robin Uthappa, Dinesh Karthik, William Porterfield, Alastair Cook, Luke Wright, Ravi Bopara, Wahab Riaz, Vernon Philander, Angelo Mathews and Denesh Ramdin.
