The biggest ICC event of the year, the T20 World Cup 2022, has arrived, and the anticipation is palpable. The World Cup, now in its eighth edition, provides an ideal platform for players to showcase their abilities, and the game's short format encourages individual displays of brilliance.
The upcoming edition looks to be no exception. Apart from the big names, most teams feature lesser-known players with little or no international cricket experience. While seasoned campaigners are expected to perform well in such a large event, some lesser-known names may also use this platform to prove their worth. There have been a few instances where an unknown player put on a show for the ages to secure the team's victory.
But who are the young players who could surprise in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in 2022?

That being said, here are five players to watch in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022. (in no particular order).
5 potential surprises in the 2022 T20 World Cup
South African Keshav Maharaj
Since his debut in 2016, the left-arm Proteas spinner has been a regular in the Test arena. While he has played 45 Tests in his career, he is a late bloomer in T20 internationals, having played only 21 matches.
Maharaj, who has excellent ball control, can bowl at any stage of the game, making him a valuable asset for the Proteas. He is likely to pose a threat to opposing batters with large boundaries in play. He has 19 wickets in 21 T20Is, with the best figures of 2/24. He has shown that he can be economical, conceding only 7.18 runs per over in his brief T20I career.
Maharaj has played 125 T20s in total, with an impressive economy rate of 6.71. Maharaj, a useful lower-order batter, can provide some extra runs for his team whenever he is called upon to bat. Overall, Maharaj will be an excellent foil for South Africa's blistering pace attack.
Finn Allen, New Zealand
Because of the IPL, the talented Finn Allen is well known in New Zealand and among Indian fans. However, as the Black Caps look to make the business end of another ICC event, this could be the tournament where he makes an even bigger name for himself.
With Martin Guptill on the bench, Allen is expected to get the nod at the top against Australia. Allen has scored 469 runs at a strike rate of 161.72 in his brief T20I career. In 72 T20s, he has a strike rate of 171.57.
Brandon King of the West Indies
The powerful West Indies top-order batter stole the show after finishing as the Caribbean Premier League's leading run-scorer in 2019, with 496 runs from 12 matches, including a century (132 off 72 balls). However, he was dropped from the national team after a string of low scores after failing to replicate his initial success with the team.
This year, however, has been a different story for King in white-ball cricket. King has been one of the top performers for the West Indies, particularly in T20 cricket, with over 400 runs to his name, including four fifty-plus scores. The technically sound King is more than capable of dealing damage right away.
He will add stability to the West Indies batting lineup and will look to carry his strong form from the CPL 2022 into the showpiece event.
England's Mark Wood
While Wood is a genuine fast bowler, he has yet to prove himself in the T20 format, particularly at major events such as the World Cup. His proclivity for injuries is also a source of concern. The express pace bowler has 35 wickets in 22 T20Is for England, but his economy rate is on the high side - 8.44.
Wood, who missed the entire English summer due to an elbow injury, made his international debut last month, taking six wickets in two games against Pakistan. The conditions in Australia will be ideal for someone like Wood to make a name for himself and assist his team in their quest for glory.
The 32-year-old has made excellent use of short balls, frequently catching opponents off guard with his line and length. Wood simply has that extra zip to ruffle up the best players, as evidenced by his knack for getting good players out. Wood's raw, unadulterated, and unfiltered pace can frighten. England will be counting on Wood to deliver thunderbolts and knock out the opposition batters with his blistering pace.
Mr. Arshdeep Singh
The promising young left-arm seamer had an outstanding IPL season this year, which earned him his first national call-up. In his first match in England, he made an immediate impression by executing his yorkers at a reasonable pace and with precision. Then, in his second international tour, Arshdeep took eight wickets in five games against the West Indies at a superb economy rate of 6.58 to earn his first man of the series award.
He has 19 wickets at an average of 19.78 in 13 T20Is this year, while his economy rate of 8.14 is slightly higher. Arshdeep, on the other hand, bowls the most difficult overs in the power-play and at the death, which accounts for his high economy rate. The 23-year-old Punjab-based bowler offers upfront swing and is one of India's best death overs bowlers. Given the skills he brings to the table, he will be a sure starter in the World Cup starting XI.
