5 players who will be playing their first Champions Trophy

India would look to defend the Champions Trophy title that they won back in 2013
The 21-year-old has been a revelation for South Africa since his debut in 2015

#3 Kagiso Rabada

Kagiso Rabada appears as South Africa’s only long-term fast-bowling option at the moment, given the way Dale Steyn has been injured for a better part of the past two years and Morne Morkel’s tryst with injuries.

And they have a good reason to say that was well, for the way Rabada has performed since his jaw-dropping debut in 2015, and considering the Kolpak cloud that hovers over the rainbow nation, he certainly seems to be South Africa’s best hope going into the Champions Trophy as well as the ICC World Cup 2019.

The 21-year-old has picked up 57 wickets from 34 ODIs at 25.23 and through his short-lived stays at the crease has made it clear that strokeplay might not be his strongest characteristic but he is no mug at it either. It would be interesting to see how the Protea prodigy performs in his first major ICC 50-over tournament.
