Future International Stars?

Who do you believe will be your country's future international stars?

Here in New Zealand there are a few athletes I've been keeping my eye on for a while now, for possible future international honors.

Tom Latham (20, LHB middle order batsmen and part-time wicket-keeper for Canterbury, impressed in both the Plunket Shield and shorter forms)

Matt Henry (20, RHB, Right-arm fast-medium bowler for Canterbury once again, impressed in the Plunket Shield especially)

Adam Milne (20, Right-arm fast-medium bowler for Central Districts, quickest bowler we have in the country = low 150's , had problems but I think he'll come right)

Michael Pollard (22, RHB higher order batsmen for Wellington, hasn't got going yet but looks like he has a good temperament and decent technique)

Have to say Cameron Bancroft is going well for WA this season in the Sheffield Shield. Could potentially be a future opener (in an old school type mould) if he can continue his good run this season.
 
Naman Ojha made an impressive ton for India A against Australia A at Allan Border Field last year. Same match Mitch Marsh and Sam Whiteman scored double tons.
 
Jos Buttler is an absolute gun of a batsmen.

Very much in the de Villiers or Gilchrist mould...

If he can improve his keeping then he'll turn into one hell of a player for England!

Forget super soldiers, it seems like Bangladesh are focusing on making super cricketers... Although he could end up being a dud I'm pretty sure he'll have a lot more success in the future, 3 5 wicket hauls in 9 ODI matches is incredible stuff, all the best to him.

EDIT: Formatting stuffed up, I'll highlight some key numbers.
