The<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-3-positives-for-the-mumbai-indians-from-ipl-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> IPL 2022</a> season has almost come to an end. This time around there have been several young national and international players who have been mighty impressive. The ICC T20 World Cup is also around the corner and all the national teams are looking for impactful individuals. The T20 format is the shortest format of the game and it can swing in any team?s favor within a matter of a few overs. The teams in that case just require an impact player who can perform and win games in these crunch situations. Here is a quick look at the 5 players to watch out for at ICC T20 World Cup 2022 to be held in Australia:&nbsp;



<h2>Wanindu Hasaranga will play for Sri Lanka at the ICC T20 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



Wanindu Hasaranga has been the talk of the town in the IPL. The <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-ab-de-villiers-and-chris-gayle-inducted-into-the-rcb-hall-of-fame/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RCB</a> management was initially trolled for spending 10.75 Crores on Wanindu at the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. But with every ball that he has bowled, Hasaranga has proved that the price tag has been rightly associated with him. Hasaranga has a good wrong one. It is difficult to differentiate between his stock ball and the googly. He is hard to pick. He also has a delivery called the flipper. At times he also looks to beat the batsmen in the air. He has been very highly rated by the ICC.<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/icc-t20i-player-of-the-year-2021-nominee-announced-mohammad-rizwan-mitchell-marsh-wanindu-hasaranga-jos-buttler/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Hasaranga </a>is the face of change for the struggling Sri Lankan team. It is a team that was severely struggling after legends like Sanga and Mahela left but now it looks like they are on the verge of a resurgence. &nbsp;



<h2>Shaheen Shah Afridi will play for Pakistan at the ICC T20 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/new-zealand-vs-pakistan-shaheen-afridi-feels-frustrated-after-missed-chances/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shaheen Shah Afridi </a>is currently the best white-ball bowler without a doubt. He belongs to the batch of Shubman Gill and Prithvi Shaw, the ones that played the U-19 World Cup in Australia in 2018. Afridi was fast-tracked to the national team when bowlers like Mohammad Amir and Hasan Ali were struggling. Ever since Afridi has taken the cricket world by storm. His performance against India in the last ICC T20 World Cup game is enough to prove his mettle. He rattled the Indian top-order by his in-swinging deliveries. He made KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma look helpless. Shaheen consistently bowls at 145 clicks and this makes him more deadly. &nbsp;



<h2>Suryakumar Yadav will play for India at the ICC T20 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/05/suryakumar-yadav-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-89838" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: Hindustan Times. </figcaption></figure>



<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/mis-suryakumar-yadav-ruled-out-of-the-tata-ipl-2022-due-to-a-muscle-injury/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Suryakumar Yadav</a>, the Indian ?Mike Hussey? has a lot to offer to team India and international cricket. It is very unfortunate that he was drafted into the national team very late at the age of 30 but that doesn?t overshadow his talent in any way or form. He has been exceptional in the past 3 to 4 years in the IPL. He has been consistently scoring 400 to 500 runs every season. Surya also has the backing of Indian captain Rohit Sharma. SKY was picked for the World Cup team in 2021 but he got limited opportunities and that too against mediocre teams. &nbsp;



His time to rise has come and he has what it takes to go the distance. He has won the big games for the Mumbai Indians and it is about time he does the dame for team India. Surya can play 360 degrees. He also has an illustrious cover drive and deals well with the short-ball. &nbsp;



<h2>Liam Livingstone:&nbsp;</h2>



A complete package for the shortest format of the game, <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/rajasthan-royals-liam-livingstone-pulled-out-of-ipl-2021-due-to-bubble-fatigue/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Liam Livingstone</a> is a good ideal for all the young players. Livingstone is a team man. He can bat up the order of play as a finisher. He can ball off-spin to the left-handers and leg-spin to the right-handers. His fielding skills are exceptional too. Liam Livingstone has been the top freelance cricketer in the shorter format all across the globe. He has taken his six-hitting ability to a new level. &nbsp;



Of the top 10 longest sixes in IPL 2022, Liam Livingstone?s name features 5 times on the list. So, his sixes are not just sixes but they are monstrous. His sixes can dent a bowler's confidence. The ideal position for Livingstone however could be at number 4 or number 5 in the England national team. He is also a good ambassador for the ?slam-bang? style of cricket that England has played in recent years. &nbsp;



<h2>Honorable Mentions:&nbsp;</h2>



<ol><li><a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/new-zealand-pacer-lockie-ferguson-ruled-out-of-t20-world-cup-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lockie Ferguson:</a> New Zealand&nbsp;</li></ol>



<ol start="2"><li>Rassie Van Der Dussen: South Africa&nbsp;</li></ol>



<ol start="3"><li>Fazalhaq Farooqi: Afghanistan&nbsp;</li></ol>



<h2>Mitchell Marsh:&nbsp;</h2>



Mitchell Marsh is the most improved cricketer of recent times. If any payer comes closer in terms of improvement it will be India?s Deepak Hooda. But Mitchell Marsh has already won a T20 World Cup for Australia. He will be keen on defending the title for his team. His performance in the final will never be forgotten. Mitchell Marsh is a big match player. He comes to the party when it matters the most. &nbsp;



Marsh has been in and out of the field of late with a niggle. But whenever he gets an opportunity, he makes an impact. His recent scores of 89 and 50+ for the Delhi Capitals have got the Capitals closer to qualification. He single-handedly won them the past two games. The ideal position for him is at number 4 or 3. He cannot bat below that. He is a replacement for Shane Watson and he must be used like Watson was. &nbsp;

Teams like India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and others are surely going to make the tournament a worth remembering one for fans all across the world. In a cricketing generation where the batters are mostly considered game changers, it's important to remember that the bowling department of a team has an equally important role to play too.&nbsp;



It's the bowlers who have to toil hard for the entire period of the game to ensure that their side finishes on the winning end. Over the years, the Asia Cup has seen several fantastic bowlers taking the world by storm with their incredible bowling performances for their side.&nbsp;



It's time for us o have a look at the top 3 possible bowlers who can pick the most wickets in this edition of the Asia Cup, i.e, Asia Cup 2022.&nbsp;



<h2>3. Shakib Al Hasan (Bangladesh)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/02/Shakib-Al-Hasan-1.jpg" alt="IPL 2021: 3 IPL teams that can target Shakib Al Hasan in IPL 2021 auctions" class="wp-image-29298" width="1040" height="723"/><figcaption>Shakib Al Hasan (image source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>



Shakib Al Hasan who's been recently appointed as Bangladesh's new captain for the Asia Cup 2022 will be a massively important factor for his side. He with his fantastic round performances has helped his side register several memorable victories so far in his career.&nbsp;



However, it's his bowling which has been a huge threat to the opposition batters on several occasions. The left arm spinner has picked up a total of 4 wickets in 5 T20I matches that he's played for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladesh_national_cricket_team">Bangladesh</a> so far in 2022. He's had a bowling average of 24.50 and conceded runs at the rate of 7.56 runs per over.&nbsp;



Though the stats so far might not seem much convincing, Bangladesh's new skipper will look to improve the numbers and lead his side to glory in Asia Cup 2022.



<h2>2. Yuzvendra Chahal (India)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/Yuzi-Chahal-min-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-92708"/><figcaption>Yuzvendra Chahal (image source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>



At the second spot on the list is India's mystery spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal. The 32 year old has been an absolute pillar in the Indian bowling lineup in the shorter formats. His sheer wicket-taking ability in addition to brilliant economic spells has been remarkably good to watch in the recent past.&nbsp;



Despite being a spinner, Chahal has mastered the art of bowling the crucial overs and helping his side strengthen its grip over matches from seemingly impossible situations. The spinner has been in fine form for India this year so far with 15 wickets in 12 matches with an average of 18.13.&nbsp;



He also has maintained an impressive economy of 7.13. His best bowling performance this year has been that of 3/20 against the West Indies. Chahal with his mystery will have a massively important role to play in India's upcoming Asia Cup 2022 journey.



<h2>1. Shaheen Afridi (Pakistan)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/07/Shaheen-Afridi.jpg" alt="Shaheen Afridi" class="wp-image-91977" width="1041" height="693"/><figcaption>Shaheen Afridi (image source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>



The top position in the list is occupied by Pakistan's star bowler Shaheen Afridi. The left-arm pacer has been in incredibly good form for Pakistan in white ball cricket in the recent past.&nbsp;



The youngster bowled&nbsp; a fine spell picking up two wickets for 21 runs in his only T20I match against Australia this year. His form peaked in 2021 when he picked 23 wickets in 21 T20I games for Pakistan at an average of 26.56 and an economy of 7.86.&nbsp;



The 22-year-old will surely be looking forward to improving his numbers in the shortest format of the game with wonderful performances in the upcoming Asia Cup 2022 and lead his team to glory.

T20 World Cup 2022: In spite of the modern generation's T20I matches being mostly ruled by the batsmen, bowlers too have been a really significant part of a team. Despite it being the batters who've generally been the backbone of their side winning games for their team single-handedly, it's the bowling department which has a key role to play for the team during the majority of the time.&nbsp;



Sometimes a good spell of bowling, one wicket-taking delivery or even an excellent economical over from the strike bowler is all team needs to make its way back into a seemingly impossible game. The bowlers' task is possibly the toughest which is to keep their team in the game even when the opposition batsman seems to be in the driver's seat altogether.&nbsp;



Even in the shortest format of the game, the bowlers have proved to be extremely significant for their sides with their fantastic execution and performances for their side in crucial situations. It's time for us to have a look at the top 3 bowlers who might be the leading wicket-takers in the T20 World Cup 2022. 



<h2>3. Yuzvendra Chahal</h2>

At no.3 in the spot is India's mystery spinner, Yuzvendra Chahal. Chahal has been one of the most impressive spinners in shorter formats and especially in the T20Is. His brace economic spells of bowling have been remarkably good to watch recently.&nbsp;



His sheer ability to choke his runs in addition to regularly picking up wickets makes him a unique choice for the Indian team. The right-arm bowler has picked up 15 wickets in 12 matches for India so far in 2022 with an economy of 7.13.&nbsp;



The 32-year-old will be desperate to carry on this good performance into the big event of T20 World Cup later this year too.



<h2>2. Shaheen Afridi</h2>

The second name in the list is Pakistan's star bowler Shaheen Afridi. The left-arm pacer has been one of the game's most prominent rising stars in the last few years and's taken the cricketing world by surprise with his unimaginable swing and pace.&nbsp;



The youngster has picked up two wickets in his only T20I match this year against Australia. His brilliant wicket-taking form and ability to bowl quality spell towards the earlier phases of the innings make him a major threat to the opposition batters.



Pakistan team and fans will be hoping their young sensation to set the stage on fire in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

T20 World Cup 2022: 3 players who might be the leading wicket-takers in the T20 World Cup 2022

leading-wicket-taker-t20-world-cup

Cricket today is the batter's game. Asia Cup 2022 will also feature many such amazing batsmen. But to lock horns with these batters, there will also be many outstanding bowlers. The tournament might not feature Jasprit Bumrah from India but there are many more exciting talents on display. The bowlers are considered as a labor class of the game but to win big tournaments, it is necessary to have a good bowling lineup. Here is an in-depth look:&nbsp;



<h2>Wanindu Hasaranga is a Top Bowler at the Asia Cup 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



Wanindu Hasaranga as I have mentioned earlier is one of the most exciting players at this Asia Cup. After dominating the greats of the game in the IPL 2022 season, Hasaranga has proven his worth. Hasaranga will be keen to restore the fallen glory of Sri Lankan cricket. Sri Lanka as a nation is also facing testing times. In such situations, Hasaranga and his team will be keen on performing exceptionally well on the field. His google is tough to pick and it is because of his fast round-arm action.&nbsp;



<h2>Shaheen Shah Afridi is a Top Bowler at Asia Cup 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/Shaheen-Shah-Afridi-min-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-93020"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: PCB</figcaption></figure>



Left-arm pacers are ruling world cricket. And Shaheen Shah Afridi is making the most of it. He has been out of the cricketing setup for some time but will be keen to make a great comeback. He can do serious damage with that ball in his hand. Shaheen will be rooting to bowl to Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul as both the bowlers have a history of struggling against left-arm pace. &nbsp;



<h2>Arshdeep Singh from India:&nbsp;</h2>



Arsh impressed everyone with his precision at the death. His death bowling is too good. Arshdeep has improved his game by leaps and bounds in the past few years. He is one hell of an exciting talent. He belongs to the elite batch of Prithvi Shaw, Shubman Gill, and Kamlesh Nagarkoti. Arshdeep is a complete T20 package. He gives the team 1 or 2 good overs at the beginning when the ball is hard and fresh. And at their death, he brings out his variations.&nbsp;



<h2>Fazalhaq Farooqi:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/Fazalhaq-Farooqi-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="Fazalhaq Farooqi Asia Cup 2022" class="wp-image-93021"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: Latestly</figcaption></figure>



Another pacer on the list is Fazalhaq Farooqi from Afghanistan. Farooqi was a part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2022. He also happens to be a left-arm pacer like Shaheen and Arshdeep Singh. Farooqi can swing the ball into the right-hander. He bowls around 135 to 140 clicks and is the first threatening fast bowler from Afghanistan.&nbsp;



<h2>Yuzvendra Chahal from India is the top Bowler at Asia Cup 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/Yuzi-Chahal-min-1-1024x768.jpg" alt="Yuzi Chahal Asia Cup 2022" class="wp-image-93019"/><figcaption>IMG SRC: The Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



The wizard of Indian Cricket, Yuzvendra Chahal has many points to prove. He happens to be India?s most successful bowler in T20Is. He wants to ensure that the selectors regret not picking him in the last T20 World Cup which was held in UAE. Chahal is one of the most daring cricketers and he is always on the offense. He is keen on taking wickets even if that means going for a few extra runs. &nbsp;

PCB in a release on Saturday (20 August) stated that the Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi has been ruled out of the upcoming Asia Cup and the home series against England as he is recovering from a knee injury. A huge blow for Pakistan before Asia Cup. Afridi is with the Pakistan team in the Netherlands as part of his rehabilitation program, which is overseen by a trainer and physiotherapist and has been advised four to six weeks of rest following the latest scans and reports. In the meantime, he will remain with the squad working with the medical team.



Chief Medical Officer of PCB, Dr. Najeebullah Soomro said "I have spoken with Shaheen and he is understandably upset with the news, but he is a brave young man who has vowed to come back strongly to serve his country and team. Although he has made progress during his rehabilitation in Rotterdam, it is now clear he will require more time and is likely to return to competitive cricket in October."



Pakistan will begin their Asia Cup campaign against India on August 28, PCB will soon announce Afridi's replacement for the Asia Cup. The home series of seven T20Is against England will start on 20 September to 2 October.

"PCB's Sports &amp; Exercise Medicine Department will be working closely with the player over the coming weeks to ensure his safe return to competitive cricket," he added.



Afridi injured his right knee ligament while fielding during the first Test against Sri Lanka in July and has been out of action since then. According to the PCB, he is expected to return to action in the T20I tri-series in New Zealand, which also includes Bangladesh, which begins on October 7. Most probably he'll be available for the opening encounter of the T20 World Cup against India on 23 October 2022.

Fakhar, who played in 70 ODIs for Pakistan, said that his approach has changed since 2016. To combat his limitations, he attempts to concentrate more on his batting, resulting in his success.



The left-handed opener said that because Rizwan and Babar Azam had set such high standards, everyone was working hard to meet them.



The 33-year-old said that he has worked hard to develop his power-hitting &amp; fitness for international cricket and that it feels wonderful whenever he gets runs for Pakistan. Fakhar also talked about how a cricket player should deal with difficult times or rough patches.



"I think the rough patch is necessary for a cricketer to face in his career. The important thing is not to lose hope and work really hard on the areas of improvement," he added.



Although Fakhar believes that it is impossible to predict outcomes in cricket, he can state that Babar will score significantly in five out of ten games.



He concluded by adding that we often worry excessively over the World Cup. When it does, they will be ready for it as required.

Watch: Pakistan's Shaheen Afridi's insane 4-wicket 1st Over in T20 Blast: Pakistani pacer Shaheen Afridi on Friday, 30th June, sent shock waves all over the world with his insane bowling performance in the first over of the T20 Blast in England. Afridi scalped 4 wickets in just an over to stun all his fans and commentators at once in the game between Nottinghamshire and Birmingham Bears in Vitality T20 Blast.



In the video shared from the official Twitter handle of Vitality T20 Blast, Afridi can be seen demolishing the top order of Birmingham Bears with his immaculate first over, which saw him create a new world record.



In pursuit of 168 runs total posted by Nottinghamshire, Birmingham Bears saw destruction take place from close quarters as Shaheen Afridi wreaked havoc. In the first legal delivery of the innings, after giving away five wides, Afridi caught Bears' skipper Alex David off-guard with his pin-point unplayable yorker. In the very next delivery, Pakistan's pacer castled Chris Benjamin as he looked to play a scoop shot.



The hat-trick delivery was negotiated nicely by Dan Mousley, who took a single to bring up opening runs for his side. The fourth delivery had the same outcome - a single. However, Afridi didn't stop his quest as he landed two more blows in the last two deliveries of the same over. 



The lanky pacer then got rid of Dan Mousley, who was caught by Olly Stone at short covers. To finish his over in style, Afridi castled three sticks of Ed Bernard with a full-length off-stump delivery. 



Shaheen Afridi's insane 4 wickets in an over pushed Birmingham Bears into the backfoot right in the first over of the innings. However, the Bears showed the courage of a lion as they did all the rescue work and went on to restructure their chase of 169 runs.

Despite that fantastic first over by Shaheen Afridi, Nottinghamshire was defeated by Birmingham Bears by 2 wickets with five balls to spare. Rob Yates, one of the openers, played a key role in keeping the Bears' hopes alive for a very long time. Yates scored a match-winning innings of 65 runs in 46 deliveries with the help of three fours and five sixes.



Other Birmingham players who held the crease for a brief period were Glenn Maxwell (19 runs), Jackob Bethell and Jake Lintott contributed 27 runs each.
