Top 10 Young Cricketers

While there is a large proportion of major international cricketers that have hit the halfway mark of their careers, there has been some extremely encouraging youth development within each Test nation.

Here are my evaluations as to the best young players from around the world that have emerged throughout the past two years:

1. Mohammad Aamer- allrounder(Pakistan)
2. Angelo Matthews- allrounder(Sri Lanka)
3. J.P Duminy- allrounder*(South Africa)
4. Umar Akmal- batsman(Pakistan)
5. Steve Smith- allrounder(Australia)
6. Tim Southee-allrounder(New Zealand)
7.Adrian Barath- batsman (West Indies)
8. Craig Kieswetter- batsman(England)
9. Kemar Roach- Fast bowler(West Indies)
10. Tamim Iqbal- batsman(Bangladesh)
*Duminy has been playing ODIs for South Africa for a couple of years now, but only made his Test debut in the 2008-09 summer against Australia on home soil.
