Harsha Bhogle’s Players To Watch Out For In 2025

I like making a list of cricketers to track every year, since it allows us to follow the game more closely. Here’s one name from each country that has caught my attention. Urge you to share a similar player pool, if possible!

Saim Ayub really is easily the most eye-catching Talent, all the shots he plays are just so aesthetic and pictures perfect. He needs to work on the consistency a little but he definitely is going to be a talent to reckon with....

I agree with Nahid Rana, that guy has pace and bounce. He needs to keep fit and stay humble.

Saim Ayub, Nitish kumar Reddy, Nahid Rana, Shemar Joseph, Jacob Bethel, Sam Konstas, kamindu Mendis, sedikuallah

[biplabkakoty]

Brilliant watchlist. Please include Zimbabwe and Irish players too; your knowledgeable mention is expandable for cricket growth as global sport. Kudos

[gautamjayasurya]

Nitish Kumar Reddy has to be in an updated list. What a player he has turned out to be! Hope be bowls more and become a proper all rounder.

3:11 The stats are shown for Kusal Mendis instead of Kamindu Mendis. Whoever's handling production of these videos still has a long way to go sadly. Typos in subtitles, wrong stats, weird editing choices....all these really bring down the value of HB's insights

Salman agha has really been a good find. He's not been very consistent in saving pak but he's the one who's saved us more than once. He's srsly a clutch player

[azizulislam]

Hasan Mahmud was quite sometime now. He showcased his talent in ODI and T20. But was lacking in form.
He rebound in Test. Now performing consistently..
But I would choose Shamim Hossain as an exciting character in 2025. Because he developed an unorthodox kind of batting. He is performing. I think if he performs he will be talk of the town in 2025.
And Nahid Rana is just brilliant. World sees him as a raw pace talent. But there is more to that. He has lethal bounce and more importantly the line and length he maintain is just amazing..
Now BPL is ongoing let's see if we see new talents for t20.
My pick for 2025 watch outs will be:
1) Nitish Kumar Reddy( Not because BGT but he can be a great all rounder in all three formats)
2) Tristan Stubbs (South Africa got a great finisher+ batting all rounder in white ball. He has much more to show)
3) Nuwan Thushara (2024 was a T20 year and among Assalanka, Pathirana, Kamindu, Nissanka, 1 man who played brilliant in t20 this year is Thushara. I like to see more of his spells in upcoming years as well)
4) Nahid Rana(The greatest discovery from Bangladesh this year. Like to see more of his spells in upcoming years as well)
5) Shamar Joseph (A hero for West Indies in Aussie series. Strong mindset. Absolute monster in test. Like to see more of his spells in Caribbean jersey in next year)

This guy SAIM AYUB has surprised the Pakistanis as well during Aus and SA tour.
Babar said before his debut that "Saim is going to be the next big thing in cricket" that's why he was given so many chances but now finally he has started performing.

Stats for Kusal Mendis were shown when Kamindu Mendis was mentioned

[MrImamsyed]

Such a good ambassador of circket Harsha is.. Always love to hear him. Even his critics are valuable

[obamapropser]

For Australia I’d say Cooper Connolly, he’s doing well in the BBL, top order batter and can bowl some left arm off spin, his timing of a cricket ball is amazing

[aeayris]

Harry Brook, Kamindu Mendis, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rachin Ravindra will emerge as new fav 4 this year

[mysubramanya]

Keasy Carty from West Indies will surprise many. He looks like a technically strong unlike other West Indian batter who will succeed in all formats

[anitapadhi]

Alternative for India- Mayank Yadav (has it all but hopefully he develops as complete bowler and remains injury free), Tanush Kotian(all rounder), Riyan Parag , Naman Dhir(batter looks more elegant than Rohit when in flow), Asutosh Sharma(batter/finisher), NKR ( gladiator in the colosseum of Melbourne), Dhruv Jurel (great talent and technique), Suyash Segde( quite a player as finisher), Abhishek Porel ( wk), Prabhsimran (opener), Nehal Wadera (middle order batter)

[YUVRAJSINGH-yje]

Harry brook, jaiswal specifically what they goona do next years

[THE_OG_CHILL_GUY]

Jacob Bethell, Kamindu Mendis, Nitish Reddy, Saim Ayub, Allah Ghazanfar, Sam Konstas

[rafidtashvee]

really happy to see the recognition Nahid Rana is getting

[revanth]

Nithish Reddy from India and Jacob Bethell from Emgland are the names u missed
