Just looking at the 2006 U/19 World Cup, and seeing the players and seeing how many have gone on, and some who haven't made it:
ICC u/19 CWC Squads - kaputa.com
Australia:
Jack McNamara (vic_othdox) still posts on here and part of the crack team of mods on this site. David Warner has played ODIs and is in the Australian T20 team, Ben Cutting has played FC cricket for QLD and has a best bowling of 6/37. Hailing from Portugal but is very much Australian, Moises Henriques, is now playing for NSW, played two ODIs for Australia and one T20, also signed by the Kolkata Knight Riders. Aaron Finch, played one FC game for Victoria against the touring Indian team in 2007, made more of a mark in the FRC and the KFC Big Bash. Tom Cooper, played a few games for SA, despite orginally coming from NSW.
Usman Khawaja, who was born in Islamabad, is now playing for NSW, and some tip him to have made his Test debut by the end of the year. Matthew Wade, orginally from Tasmania, and who he made his List A debut for Tasmania, moved to Victoriam and continues to play all three formats for the Bushrangers.
South Africa:
Craig Kieswetter has since left for Somerset and there is a chance he could make his debut for England this year, even taking his mediorce FC record away from Taunton (got that from BB and zaremba). I guess the ECB does have to fill a quaota of South African born Englishmen in the team (those who didn't move as a child, like Strauss or Prior, and I think their parents are English anyway). Wayne Parnell has made his ODI debut for South Africa, looksl ike he has a bit of promise, and was called into the South African Test squad, even with his poor FC form this season.
New Zealand:
Tim Southee and Martin Guptil have since made their Test debuts for New Zealand. Southee took 5 wickets in an innings on Test debut and blasted 77* against England, and despite being dropped three times in the process, Guptil scored an unbeaten century on his ODI debut against the West Indies. I believe most of the squad are now playing FC cricket.
India:
Piyush Chawla has played Tests for India, in fact he made his Test debut and played his last Test in 2008. Hard to believe he is still only 21. Rohit Sharma has played ODIs for India. Ravindra Jadeja has gone onto play ODI and T20's for India, and is a part of the Rajasthan Royals IPL franchise. Debabrata Das has signed for the KKR, but is yet to make his FC debut. Has a s/r of over 100 in T20 cricket, but his average is mere 17.
Sri Lanka:
Angelo Mathews has since gone onto play Tests and ODIs for Sri Lanka.
Bangladesh:
CW cult hero and the legend that is Shakib Al Hasan, has not only played Tests, ODI, and T20's for Bangladesh, but is also the captain, and probably their best player. Has a very good Test, FC (yes I know), ODI bowling record, and what you could say is a decent T20 Econ rate. Has four ODI centuries, and very nearly beat New Zealand in a Test, all thanks to him. Tamim Iqbal, and Mushfiqur Rahim have also played Tests for Bangladesh.
West Indies:
Kemar Roach has since played Tests for the West Indies, and really looks like their best fast bowling prospect in a number of years. Still only 21 and can get up to 150km/h, he has also injured Ricky Ponting. Some on here have tipped him to get 300-400 Test wickets. Kieron Pollard is a big hitting all-rounder, entertaining the masses for South Australia in the KFC Big Bash. Seriously some of the sixes he has hit at the Adelaide Oval were monstrous. Andre Fletcher I believe has played for the West Indies in that time.
Ireland:
Eoin morgan has sinced played ODI's for both Ireland and England.
Pakistan:
Sarfraz Ahmed has been called into the Pakisan Test team on their tour of Australia.
NOTE (please read!!!!!!!!!!!): I have only done the countries and players that I am fimilar with, and those that have made it to Test, ODI, International T20 level. So apologies for players and countries I have missed. I am not aware of any of the England, Pakistan, or South African cricketers who have since played for their respective countries (excluding Parnell and Kieswetter who wants to play for England). Nor do I know too much about the Sri Lankan or Bangladeshi players, and in particular the amount of Sri Lankan players who have been making their ODI debuts.
So once again I do sincerely apologise if I have missed players and/or countries, I am only one person. So feel free for the fans of each country to fill in the details if you like.
