Players to watch out for in the Asia Cup

1. Anshuman Rath | Hong Kong

The 20-year-old Hong Kong skipper is one of the most exciting prospects to watch out for. The left-hander has played an important role in the evolution of Hong Kong cricket. Anshuman Rath times the ball brilliantly and is definitely one of the most consistent performers in the team.

This young man has played 16 one days thus far and has scored 735 runs at an exceptional average of 52.5. He was great to watch in the qualifiers leg of the tournament with 204 runs in 5 innings and also notched up a century there. His leadership traits put him right up there as one of the best players in the side and is the player to watch out for in the Hong Kong team.
