The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20-world-cup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">T20 World Cup 2022</a> will get underway on October 16 with the group stages and the action will move towards the Super 12 round from October 22. One will witness the top cricketing nations battle it out for the crown. The hosts Australia will head into the marquee event as the defending champions.

Some young stars who have set the T20 circuit ablaze with their stellar performances will also feature in the tournament. They have proven their worth in various T20 tournaments around the world and have the potential to make it big at the grandest stage of them all.

Let us look at the U-23 stars who can have a breakthrough tournament

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/gujarat-titans-will-definitely-retain-rahamnullah-gurbaz-wasim-jaffer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rahmanullah Gurbaz</a> has been a proven performer for Afghanistan in white-ball cricket. The wicket-keeper batter has been entrusted to provide brisk starts and has done it with perfection. Talking about the shortest format, the batter has played 32 T20Is and amassed 828 runs at a strike rate of 138.46.

The 20-year-old has been the destroyer with the bat for Afghanistan at the top of the order and his hitting prowess was on display at the Asia Cup 2022. He featured in five games at the multi-nation tournament and smashed 152 runs at a stunning strike rate of 163.44.&nbsp;

The ace batter continued his awesome run with the bat in the recently concluded CPL and scored 157 runs in six games at a strike rate of 140.17. Gurbaz has shown that on his day, he can take any bowling attack to the cleaners and Mohammad Nabi &amp; Co. will hope that he is at his best at the marquee tournament.

Naseem Shah has been among the emerging stars in Pakistan Cricket. He has the ability to clock speeds of over 145 kmph on a consistent basis and has rattled batters with his express pace. Having made his international debut in 2019, the Peshwar-born showed in the 2022 season of the Pakistan Super League that he can also deliver the goods in the shortest format.

The 19-year-old played 10 games for Quetta Gladiators and took 14 wickets at an economy of 8.01. The Men in Green picked Naseem for this year’s Asia Cup and the youngster delivered the goods with the ball. In the absence of pace-spearhead <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/shaheen-afridi-starts-bowling-gives-update-on-rehabilitation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shaheen Afridi</a>, he gave Pakistan an ideal start with the ball.

Naseem picked seven scalps in five games and was instrumental in Pakistan reaching the finals of the Asian tournament. The T20 World Cup is being held in Australia which is considered a pacer's paradise and the speedster can prove quite lethal with the ball in those seam-friendly conditions. He has shown immense skills in the international arena and is touted to be the next big thing in Pakistan Cricket.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-facts/who-is-tristan-stubbs-the-young-dasher-who-garnered-the-highest-bid-in-sa20-auction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tristan Stubbs</a> broke into the national side on the back of astonishing performances in the 2022 season of the CSA T20 Challenge. The swashbuckling batter aggregated 293 runs in seven matches for Warriors at a phenomenal strike rate of 183.12.

The 22-year-old has carried his rich vein of form in the international circuit. Stubbs has featured in eight games for South Africa and smashed 119 runs at an insane strike rate of 212.50. He also showed his batting might at The Hundred 2022 which saw him score 157 runs for Manchester Originals in 9 innings at a strike rate of 146.72.&nbsp;

Stubbs will be tasked to finish games for the Proteas at the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022. The youngster in a short span has shown that he can take apart even the top-quality bowling attacks and can well be South Africa’s X-factor in the marquee event.

Harry Brook has been one of the most exciting prospects in England Cricket. The 23-year-old has proved his mettle in T20 leagues around the world and has been in midst of a prolific run with the bat this year. In Pakistan Super League 2022, he scored 264 runs in 10 games at an outstanding strike rate of 171.43.

The Yorkshire-born then went on to pile 436 runs in this year’s T20 blast in 13 matches at a strike rate of 163.90. Brook has shown his ability to take the attack to the opposition from ball one and England drafted the flamboyant batter in their squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup.&nbsp;

Brook has also set the international circuit on fire with his performances. In the recently culminated T20I series against Pakistan, he scored 238 runs at a staggering strike rate of 163.01. In the absence of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/jonny-bairstow-to-miss-majority-of-the-hundred-2022-to-manage-workload/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jonny Bairstow</a> at the global tournament, England will look at him to fill his void in the middle order. The youngster has shown his class and has the caliber to make it big at the T20 extravaganza.

Arshdeep Singh’s stocks have witnessed a meteoric rise in a year or so. The 23-year-old was simply sensational with the ball in the previous two editions of the Indian Premier League which saw him take 28 wickets in 26 games for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/punjab-kings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Punjab Kings</a> at an economy of 7.98 which is remarkable considering he bowls a lot at the death.

The Punjab pacer received an international call-up due to impressive performances in the most lucrative T20 tournament and has carried on his good work for India. Arshdeep has featured in 13 T20Is and bagged 19 wickets at an economy of 8.14.

The left-arm pacer has shown that he can bowl pin-point yorkers at will, making him tough to tackle at the fag end of the innings. Arshdeep has shown incredible temperament on the big stage and has not shied away from bowling crunch overs for Men in Blue. He will hold the cards for India in the death-overs heading into the tournament.

The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20-world-cup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">T20 World Cup 2022</a> will get underway on October 16 with the group stages and the action will move towards the Super 12 round from October 22.
