#3 Nicholas Pooran

PORT OF SPAIN, TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO - AUGUST 09: Nicholas Pooran sweeps during the Eleventh Match of the Cricket Caribbean Premier League between Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel v Guyana Amazon Warriors at Queen's Park Oval on August 9, 2013 in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.

Pooran has received praise from a number of people including AB de Villiers

Another exciting find, the Trinidad and Tobago wicket-keeper batsman, Nicholas Pooran, shot into the limelight in the 2014 Under-19 World Cup where he made 303 runs in six games aside from doubling up as the team's vice-captain and primary wicket-keeper.

His Caribbean Premier League debut was a fairy tale story as he smashed a 24 ball 54.

Although Pooran made his T20 debut shortly after that in September, 2016, he remains on the fringes even now. He was bought by the Mumbai Indians franchise in IPL 2017, but did not get a game. Composure and temperament are two of Pooran's biggest qualities that would serve West Indies cricket well in these dire times.
