Pakistan v West Indies: 5 Youngsters to watch out for

West Indies are set to face the re-vitalized Pakistan side in a matter of few days when both teams meet to play against each other in the 1st T20I at Dubai International Stadium. The tour comprises of 3 Tests and as many ODIs and T20s, including the day-night pink ball Test. Both the teams had mixed results in their last respective series.

Pakistan played against England in their own backyard. They drew the Test series bravely but only to lose the ODI series in a humiliating manner. However, the Pakistanis did find some consolation in the form of a satisfying victory on the only T20I afterwards and returned home pretty much satisfied. The West Indies also had a somewhat bitter-sweet time when they hosted India last month.

The Test series resulted in drubbing but they managed to pocket the T20I series played in the USA to regain some respect. Both the teams have made exciting changes in their team, recalling a few seniors and adding some fresh spirit in the form of young names. Both the side have some young guns with then and this makes this series certainly an exciting one.

Here are the 5 Youngsters to watch out for:

1. Alzarri Joseph:

Alzarri Joseph, the young fast bowler, has gained a good reputation since his Under 19 days. The right arm fast bowler played a crucial role in West Indies’ Under – 19 World Cup win earlier this year.

He was someone distinctly bowled with raw pace and was quick to grab the attention of Ian Bishop who asked everyone to take notice of him. There was a good reason why an ex-fast bowler like Bishop was impressed by him. Joseph was able to clock 145 kph regularly.

Bishop was right and predicted the correct thing. Joseph made a mark for himself in the CPL 2016 and was included in the team midway through the Test series against India recently. Going by the kind of rise he was experienced in his cricketing career he is surely someone who deserves to be the man under the spotlight.
