#2 Cheteshwar Pujara

County Cricket has witnessed a lot new signings and contracts from Indian players, especially test specialists who do not get bought by any of the IPL Franchises. One such signing that attracted a lot of attention was Cheteshwar Pujara.

He was re-signed by the Yorkshire for the 2018 season, but Pujara has struggled in the longer format. He has failed to convert his starts into scores and has not been a reason to worry for any county bowler so far. This might mean that he could flop big time while playing for India.


#3 James Anderson

England v New Zealand: 2nd Investec Test - Day One
James Anderson has been one of the greatest fast bowlers in Test Cricket and will go down as a legend

With time, things have changed for the very reputed English seamer. Jimmy Anderson has lost his pace and now bowls at the 130km/h mark, he has lost out on his spot in the limited overs side and may now end up just as Dale Steyn looks to be ending with.

Age has effected the game of many stalwarts and it will be no different for Anderson. The sting he and Stuart Broad had, now seems long gone and it is possible that he doesn't pick up many wickets along with getting hit a bit too much.
