The Pakistan Junior League has put a few names on our radar.
It was a truly international event, however dominated by Pakistan players.
By some distance the stand out player was Basit Ali who blew the tournament away. First off he scored the most runs (379) at the highest average (63.16). He also had the Two highest scores in the tournament (102 and 91) at the second highest average Strike Rate (150.2). So....yeah....bit good.
Mohammad Zeeshan also stood out...in many ways. The 6 foot 8 inch 16 year old right armer got 14 wickets at an economy of 7.25. The only bowler to get a fivefer was also a Pakistan player - Saad Masood.
The future looks bright for Pakistan cricket.
