5 players who have been the finds of 2019 in international cricket
Ben Stokes has been the hero for England, Rohit Sharma for India, Patrick Cummins for Australia and Babar Azam for Pakistan this year.
4. Jofra Archer
It was inevitable that Jofra Archer will set the stage on fire in international cricket. But the young sensation debuted for England in all the formats this year only. So, technically, the speedster has to be one of the finds of this year.
The right-arm pacer was very imposing for Surrey in England’s domestic circuit and other T20 leagues around the world as well. He was drafted in England white-ball squad straight-away before the important World Cup. The Barbados-born was not selected in the preliminary World Cup squad of England. However, it was just a matter of time for the English selectors to draft him in after good performances in the given opportunities.
The 24-year-old is an all-format player and is one of the best bowlers in the world at the moment. Archer finished the World Cup 2019 as the most successful bowler for his side with 20 scalps to his name. His success has not been limited to only white-ball cricket only as he had a good time in the prestigious Ashes too. Appearing in four matches, the express-pacer snared 22 wickets and bagged two five-wicket-hauls as well.
