Shubman Gill, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Harry Brook among the young players who could star at Cricket World Cup in India; tournament live on Sky Sports between October 5 and November 19; England face New Zealand in Thursday's opening game - a repeat of 2019 World Cup finalAhead of the Cricket World Cup in India, which begins on Thursday, we look at some of the under 25s who could thrive over the next couple of months...
Brook looks likely to start the World Cup as batting back-up with England's top six set to comprise Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler and Liam Livingstone but if he gets his chance he could very well nail it, just as he has done in Test cricket. Those numbers, plus his swashbuckling batting style, were why fans and pundits were left so perplexed when Brook was left out of England's initial World Cup squad but he replaced Jason Roy in the final 15 after his team-mate suffered some untimely back spasms.
De Leede bagged five wickets in the must-win match against Scotland before smashing 123 from 92 balls as the Dutch reached their target of 278 to book their place in India. The 23-year-old will enter the World Cup in decent nick, too, having scored a maiden first-class hundred last month to help Durham earn promotion to County Championship Division One.
