One of the most prolific English bowlers today, Stuart Broad, has picked up 322 wickets in 89 Tests and has his best figures as 8/15 that rocked Australian batting in Ashes 2015 with his right arm fast bowling. He has 15 five-wicket hauls to his name in the Test format. In ODIs, he has scalped 177 wickets in 119 matches with the best figure of 5/23. However, he bats left-handed, and that makes him an ambidextrous player, with 2558 runs in Tests. He has a Test ton to his name as well and has the top score of 169 that he scored against Pakistan at Lords in 2010.

The Kiwi all-rounder is new to international cricket but has made a mark in the limited opportunities that he has got. The hard-hitting left-handed batsman who bowls right-arm medium pace too has played 9 Tests, 19 ODIs, and 13 T20Is thus far. He averages over 38 in Tests and has already scored two tons in his short career with a best of 137*. Neesham has picked up 12 Test wickets to go with 20 ODI wickets and 11 T20I scalps. Looking at his young numbers, one cannot undermine his talent as he surely looks to be a good prospect for the New Zealand cricket team.
