"Just the badge has changed," says the former South Africa Under-19 captain who is set to make his debut for New Zealand

This article on Bowes and the bit of info that he captained SA U-19 to victory over NZ U-19 made me want to look up "where are they now" for that squad since it's been 10/11 years since that WC.
Will Young* - probably a meme that he's my favourite player that I'd die for at this point but for some reason thought O'Donnell captained this side and not Young. Probably the second most 'successful' player based on international appearances and is amongst the squad make up, so you could say he's a Black Cap regular
Joe Carter - seems like he's on the fringe of selection, given he had a good A tour to India
Sean Davey - made a bit of chatter this week with his 7fer. Didn't make his FC debut until 2020, probably the latest 'bloomer' of the bunch. Could be a late bolter for test cricket at some stage?
Michael Davidson - Played some domestic cricket between 2015 and 18
Jacob Duffy - third most successful player in the bunch? Seems like he'll be a continued L/O presence for a few years. Barring mass test injuries, don't think we'll see him in whites - thanks SK.
Cam Fletcher - Unlucky to be around at the same time as Watling and Blundell and I dare say when Blundell hangs up his boots in a few years, they'll go for someone younger (lol yeah right). Should play T20Is imo
Ben Horne - famous-ish name, same problem as Fletcher especially since FC cricket seems to be his forte. Whenever I look at a scorecard for Auckland he always seems to have contributed something in the lower order/provides a bit of fight
Ben Hyde - apart from featuring in two Northern District XI sides to play touring Zimbabweans in 2015, never kicked on after the WC
Connor Neynens - Played some A level cricket with meagre returns it seems
Ed Nuttall - tipped this bloke for higher honours a few times but seems to have gone off the boil a bit. Shame, as we need decent left arm quicks with Boult and Wagner on the way out
Robert O'Donnell - also tipped by a few for higher honours, though mostly based on his eloquence in post match chatter. Doesn't have the numbers to demand a spot but should play for Black Caps one day. NZ A team regular.
Matt Quinn - probably the smartest in that he went to the UK eventually to forge a cushy county career. Mind you, with his age he'd probably be considered a promising young prospect in a couple of years time
Ish Sodhi - easily the most successful player of the bunch with a regular L/O spot and sporadic Test appearances. After Pakistan, should've played the home summer. Have a feeling he'll turn to T20I leagues in a couple of years if the selectors don't wise up to his long form bowling (and handy batting)
Theo van Woerkom - Would probably love to swap his bowling and batting averages. Feel like he's been around forever and played a lot of games but hasn't really.
Arnie Yugaraja - like Hyde played for the ND XI vs Zimbabwe after the WC but never kicked on.
Henry Walsh - was a withdrawn player apparently but managed a handful of domestic appearances
