Haseeb Hameed - Rahul Dravid
Having made his Test debut at the age of 19 against India in 2016, Haseeb was one of the few bright sparks from the tour and looked destined to have an exemplary career in the future. Hameed was appropriately proclaimed as one of the outstanding young batsmen in the country, as his debut hinted he could become the opening partner for Alastair Cook that England had sought since the retirement of Andrew Strauss.

His batting technique drew comparison to Rahul Dravid as he's nicknamed 'The Wall' back in England. His disciplined and unflappable style which identifies him as a bit of a throwback, wears bowlers down, as he grinds each and every run. This enables batsmen lower down to express themselves and play around him.
Although slightly out of form, there's no doubt Haseeb will be back stronger than ever on the world stage.
