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

ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup (2012)

Quinton de Kock has cemented his place in the Proteas ranks since this edition of the tournament.

The tournament shifted westwards and settled in Queensland, this term. The hosts remained unbeaten in the tournament, only to lose to Unmukt Chand's India by 6 wickets in the final. Afghanistan shocked the world by advancing to the plate final.

Anamul Haque of Bangladesh was the highest run-getter of the tournament. He received his national Test and ODI call-up soon after the tournament, but could only hold on to the latter position. English slow bowler, Reece Topley, was the highest wicket-taker. He debuted for England in ODI and T20I in the later part of 2015, but couldn't cement his place. However, he has maintained a healthy bowling record in the domestic circuit and could be set for a return.

Present day international names like Quinton de Kock, Cameron Bancroft, Craig Overton, Niroshan Dickwella, Ish Sodhi, and Taskin Ahmed were first seen in this tournament.
