The modern day finisher for the Australian team, James Faulkner can pack a punch with his right-handed batting. He helped Australia almost chase down a target of 383 with a gritty 73-ball 116 against India at Bangalore in 2013. He has played in 49 ODIs and averages almost 40. He bowls left-arm fast and has 65 wickets to his short career so far. Faulkner has great finishing abilities with the bat and ball; he is one of the most promising ambidextrous cricketers in modern day cricket.

England’s new found solution to spin bowling is Moeen Ali. Ali, who was considered to be a part-time bowler is turning out to be a regular right-arm spin bowler for England. In 22* Tests so far, Ali has picked up 62 wickets with the best of 6/67. He also has 33 wickets in 31 ODIs which has seen him fill the fifth bowler’s quota for England. Ali, a left-handed batsman, entered the squad as a top order player and has 878 runs in his Test career so far with the top score of 108 not out.
