The T20 World Cup begins tomorrow in India and Sri Lanka, with a chance for fresh faces to shine in the global spotlight.

AFP Sport looks at five young players who could make a big impact over the month-long, 20-team tournament:
COOPER CONNOLLY
A batting all-rounder who bowls left-arm spin, he made his international debut in 2024.
Last year against South Africa Connolly became the youngest Australian, at 22 years and two days, to take an ODI five-wicket haul.
Connolly, named Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year last month, could make his T20 World Cup debut in Australia's opening match against Ireland in Colombo next Wednesday.
