New/fairly unknown player you are rooting for!

What are some up and coming players you are following/enjoy watching.

I will go ahead and name Maheesh Theekshana from Sri Lanka. Another "mystery spinner" from SL who bowls quite a few variations between speeds of 80-100 kmph. I don't remember where I saw him bowl the first time, but he was bowling off-spin, arm ball, carrom ball and loopy in-swinging full deliveries in some local T20 tournament. I then saw some of his videos on YouTube and looks like he can be an exciting player.

What are some other fairly unknown but promising players that you guys follow.

The normal awards that everyone else has
I’ve wanted Kurt Patterson and Matt Renshaw to come good in tests for a few years.

AJ Nair, his bowling was pretty exciting to watch from whatever I saw, plus he could hit a couple of sixes as a lower order batsman. Got banned because of an illegal bowling action, not sure if he is cleared.
 

M0rphin3

International Debutant
Rachin Ravindra, defo. I'll be super disappointed af if he doesn't turn out to be gun.

Others: Mossaddek Hossain, Wiaan Mulder, Jhye Richardson (although don't think he's "fairly unknown")
 

Victor Ian

International Coach
He fits the new part, if not the fairly unknown part, but i'm on puc's wagon. Just think if he becomes big and a new bread of Australians start getting their international experience at 14 on playstation as a result.
