    Ryan Higgins has turned into a talented all-rounder in the past two seasons. A hard-hitting batsman with Gloucestershire who scores quickly, and offers medium-pace bowling full of guile, he is a likely pick for The Hundred.

    My top pick would be Ed Barnard from Worcestershire.

    He is a terrific young player who seems to get better every season. I think he can influence games in all three disciplines.

    Barnard was part of the Worcestershire team to win the T20 Blast in 2018. He's only 23 but an all-rounder who seems to perform well under pressure.

    He's a talented batsman, offers a threat with the ball and is superb in the field.

    Having watched Yorkshire throughout this summer, I think Tom Kohler-Cadmore will continue to be a very good player in the shorter formats.

    The former Worcestershire batsman showed the ability to bat through the innings on more than one occasion, to set up the game for his team, as well as producing match-winning knocks. His 435 runs at 62.14 in the Blast should make him an attractive proposition in The Hundred draft.

    Phil Salt has burst on to the T20 scene in the past two seasons under the watchful eye of Jason Gillespie. The 23-year-old has already attracted attention from England, having joined up with the squad earlier this season, and will be playing for the Adelaide Strikers in this season's Big Bash.

    Luke Wright will also be in demand, as will Danny Briggs, who is the leading wicket-taker in domestic T20 cricket, as well as being one of, if not the best, backward point fielders around. He's Mr Unflappable.
