5 Under-19 captains who went on to lead the senior teams

4.Kane Williamson

The present New Zealand skipper captained the Blackcaps side, which reached the semifinals of the competition in the 2008 edition of the World Cup, which was held in Kuala Lumpur, where they lost to India.

Williamson made his international debut two years later and from the beginning, showed that he possessed a great cricketing brain along with a huge appetite for big runs. In the absence of regular skipper Brendon McCullm, it was him that the Blackcaps turned to and he showed a great intent while leading the side.

Last February, when McCullum announced his retirement from all forms of the game, Williamson took over as full-time captain of the Blackcaps side and it goes without saying that much is expected from him to take his side into the Top 3 of the rankings.
