The only thing that remains constant in the world is change.With the retirement of stalwarts like Kumar Sangakkara and Michael Clarke, the beacon of cricket will transfer to the younger generation.Currently there are few youngsters who have a made a name for themselves in the game – like Virat Kohli, Joe Root and Steven Smith – but more youngsters will be soon called upon to shoulder the responsibility of their teams, with most of the top teams currently going through a transition phase.The best place to find the raw young talent is in the domestic circuit, so let’s have a look at the 5 young domestic stars who can take the cricketing world by storm in the coming days.
#5 Mir Hamza
One thing that has been perennially associated with Pakistan cricket has been good fast bowlers.So the list of promising young players would be incomplete without a Pakistani fast bowler.
Mir Hamza is a 22 year old left arm pacer from Pakistan.He plays his domestic cricket for Karachi and has been impressive in his fledgling career.In the 26 first class games he has played, he has successfully picked up 118 wickets at an average of 19.78 with astonishing 12 five wicket hauls and three ten wicket hauls.Another important part of his game is his extremely impressive strike rate of 39.7.
His first class stats clearly reveal his potential as a left arm bowler.With Pakistan constantly producing quality fast bowlers it wouldn’t be a surprize if he has to wait a little longer for his chance at the highest level.A breakthrough season this year could surely put him under the selectors radar.
