Top 10 youngest cricket players to make international debut

Age plays an indubitable role in any athlete’s performance. Usually athletes regardless of what type of sport they play, demonstrate their peak performances in their 20’s. As soon as the age number starts crossing mid-thirties, their show begins to fade away. However in cricket the case is a bit different. Although the game of cricket is physically as much demanding as any other sport in the world, cricket players carry on their extensive careers until 40’s in some cases. Similar situation is with their debut, as cricket has seen some of the youngest cricket players putting their footsteps into the international arena.

Countries with a strong cricketing structure groom up their young blood making them capable enough to appear in international cricket at very early years of age. However on the same time the establishment of junior level cricket teams has somehow prevented the youngest cricket players to have an early call in international arena. Now a day, cricket nations have a different cricket side to represent their country in various age groups. Similarly the arrangements of the mega events of such sides by International cricket council has made the junior level cricket a lot more appealing. Obviously every player dreams of making a debut into his national side to represent the country on international level however instead of getting into the waiting-lots to get an opportunity at national level, players prefer to play junior level cricket. An age group of U-19 has always proved to be most beneficial in generating young talents. Some of the finest cricket players at the moment have emerged from their respective under 19 sides.
