Second on the list is left-arm fast bowler Ruben Trumpelmann, who plays for Namibia. Ruben, a native of Durban, has 12 wickets for Namibia in 19 T20 international contests. Because of his ability to swing the ball in the air early in an inning and get bounce off the wicket, he is a particularly potent new ball bowler in the format. His economy in the shortest format is 6.62. He might become a respectable backup player for any franchise.
