The
stage
is
set
for
the
most
intense
cricket
battle
of
the
year
in
which
16
top
cricket
teams
of
the
world
are
vying
for
top
honours.
For
Ross
Taylor,
the
former
New
Zealand
captain,
it
will
be
the
first
World
Cup
since
his
retirement.
Though
the
Kiwi
batter
is
missing
all
the
action
on
the
field,
it
did
not
deter
him
from
picking
his
five
emerging
batters
at
the
ongoing
marquee
event
of
the
ICC,
with
Suryakumar
Yadav
being
the
only
Indian
in
the
list.
“This
is
the
first
ICC
Men’s
T20
World
Cup
to
have
taken
place
since
I
retired
from
international
cricket
earlier
this
year,
so
I’m
preparing
for
a
different
experience
watching
from
the
other
side
of
the
rope,”
Taylor
told
ICC
Media.
“I’m
looking
forward
to
seeing
the
action
get
underway
and
particularly
excited
by
some
of
the
young
batters
on
display.
There’re
several
who
I
think
could
be
set
for
a
breakthrough
tournament
and
with
that
in
mind,
here
are
five
players
to
keep
a
close
eye
on
over
the
next
month.
Tim
David
(Australia)
Tim
David
has
had
a
different
transition
into
international
cricket,
starting
out
with
Singapore
before
going
on
to
shine
in
the
IPL
and
other
competitions
around
the
world.
He
has
had
some
useful
cameos
in
his
brief
appearances
for
Australia
so
far
and
he
obviously
has
a
lot
of
power.
He
seems
to
be
able
to
hit
boundaries
with
ease.
Harry
Brook
(England)
I
was
in
India
recently
playing
a
legends
series
and
caught
a
bit
of
England’s
T20
series
against
Pakistan.
Harry
Brook
got
80-odd
[81
not
out]
in
one
of
the
games
and
really
caught
the
eye.
I
first
saw
him
in
2018,
when
I
was
playing
for
Nottinghamshire
against
Brook’s
Yorkshire
in
English
domestic
cricket,
and
he
looked
like
a
good
player
back
then.
He
has
since
gone
on
to
play
Test
cricket
and
looks
like
he
has
a
big
career
ahead
of
him.
Finn
Allen
(New
Zealand)
I
have
to
mention
New
Zealand
and
it
looks
like
Finn
Allen
will
open
the
batting,
so
he
will
be
relied
upon
to
get
the
team
off
to
a
fast
start.
Devon
Conway
and
Kane
Williamson
are
more
conservative
in
the
way
they
go
about
it,
so
they
will
be
looking
to
Allen
to
get
that
strike
rate
up
and
lay
the
foundations
for
those
guys.
Haider
Ali
(Pakistan)
Haider
Ali
is
a
player
who
really
has
something
about
him.
Pakistan
move
him
up
and
down
the
order
but
wherever
he
bats,
he
is
capable
of
hitting
the
ground
running.
There
will
always
be
a
lot
of
runs
scored
by
Babar
Azam
and
Mohammad
Rizwan
and
they
often
face
a
lot
of
the
balls
in
an
innings,
so
they
will
need
guys
like
Haider
to
play
cameos
down
the
order.
He
has
been
a
big
part
of
Pakistan’s
series
win
over
New
Zealand
recently,
striking
at
over
200
in
the
third
match
of
the
series.
Suryakumar
Yadav
(India)
I
know
from
experience
that
four
is
not
an
easy
place
to
bat
in
T20
cricket
and
that’s
especially
true
for
Suryakumar
Yadav,
who
is
coming
in
after
KL
Rahul,
Rohit
Sharma
and
Virat
Kohli.
Some
would
find
that
an
intimidating
place
to
be
but
he
has
really
taken
to
it.
He
can
pick
out
unorthodox
areas
and
he’s
fearless.
