7. Marco Jansen | 6'8'' (203 cm)
Marco Jansen has been proven performer for South Africa in the longest format of the game. He has extracted bounce from even the docile surfaces and wreaked havoc with the ball. Besides his bowling might, the ace pacer is no muck with the bat and played crucial knocks slotting in at lower down the order.
Jansen has featured in 10 Tests and bagged 41 wickets at an average of 21.65. On the batting front, he has scored 277 runs at an average of 19.78. The 22-year-old has fared well in the ODIs too, picking up five wickets in as many games at an economy of 6.06 and scoring 60 runs at a strike rate of 93.75.
Courtesy of his stellar performances, Jansen has become a integral part of the South African pace attack. Moroever, the inclusion of the left-arm pacer has added variety to the bowling unit. The team management would hope the youngster keeps delivering the goods in the years to come.
