The International Cricket season is nearly upon us with as many as three tours kicking off simultaneously! While the West Indies and England tour New Zealand and South Africa respectively, the blockbuster clash of India and Australia is the cherry on the top. With such action set to unfold, the need for value-for-money buys is relatively high in the Sixer Market. While two out of the 'Fab Four', Virat Kohli and Steve Smith currently trade at a fantasy stock price of 50.60 Sixer Coins and 42.50 Sixer Coins respectively, many such deals are waiting to be capitalised on in the Market! Walking along the same lines, we've taken the liberty to identify a few such players, who can possibly make a huge impact in their respective tours and in the Sixer Market! Here are three players to watch out for in the Sixer Market during the upcoming international tours and of course the Big Bash League!#1 Tom Banton (England/Brisbane Heat)One of the most talked-about players in the world, Tom Banton has seen a rapid rise to stardom over the last year or so. He has already played in the PSL, BBL, T20 Blast and also turned up for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the recently-concluded IPL! Although his performances for KKR weren't up to the mark with a match score average of 19.36 in his two games, Banton's fantasy shareholders shouldn't be too worried about his long term prospects. Aged 22, Banton still has a long way to go in his career. But even in his short-yet-sweet career, Banton has aced the litmus test with an all-time high price of 63.59 Sixer Coins. With the Big Bash League coming up in a few weeks, it's only fair that Banton's match score average of 60.32 in the previous BBL is brought up into the conversation. His ability to play pace and spin equally well holds him in good stead, and it should only be a matter of time before his fantasy stock price, currently 33 Sixer Coins per Share, takes off in the Sixer Market! With Banton earmarked as one for the future, perhaps it is time to add him up as a long term asset in your Real Market portfolios as well!#2 James Neesham (New Zealand)There's more to Jimmy Neesham than his witty comments on social media. For starters, he is one of the best all-rounders in the game at the moment. Blessed with immense power and handy with the ball in hand, Neesham provides balance to every team he plays in, regardless of the format. His performances for New Zealand over the last year or so have been brilliant. In last year's ICC World Cup, Neesham notched up five 50+ match scores, and he even managed to club Jofra Archer in the Super Over, which Neesham wouldn't be too fond of in the end. Despite his international heroics, his form of late hasn't been too great. His fantasy stock price has fallen by 9.14% in his last ten games to 36.70 Sixer Coins per Share. While one might not rate this form as trade-worthy, there's always a catch! Neesham, playing in familiar conditions, is also a threat to the opposition. With the southpaw being New Zealand's designated finisher and their fifth bowler as well, Neesham should get an ample number of opportunities to boost his fantasy stock price in the upcoming series against West Indies. Given that he played with a few in the CPL last year, he might even have an ace up his sleeve! At 36.70 Sixer Coins per Share, any all-rounder would be worth their weight in gold, which isn't any different for James Neesham. With the need for bargain buys increasing, Neesham could be your man!#3 Mitchell Starc (Australia/Sydney Sixers)Mitchell Starc isn't exactly a hidden gem! However, with the Aussie speedster not playing in the IPL, he might have slipped under the radar. While the likes of Jofra Archer and Jasprit Bumrah enthral the cricketing world with their stellar performances, Mitchell Starc is definitely one to forward to in the international season. His fantasy stock price is up by 8.10% in his last four games with a match score average of 63.9. Also, Starc is one of the most lethal bowlers in death overs with his antics in last year's ICC World Cup still fresh on everyone's minds. Coming into the international season, Starc had a decent tour of England with five 50+ match scores to close out the series. Also, he would be playing in home conditions against a slightly weak India team in all three formats, which should hold him in high regards. Mitchell Starc has a decent record against the Indians but would be keen on getting the better of KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan, both of whom did well in the IPL! With the lanky pacer set to feature for the Sydney Sixers in the latter half of the BBL as well, his stocks, which currently trade at 58 Sixer Coins per Share, might be an absolute bargain!While the aforementioned players stand out with the promise of quality and potential, several other players are well and truly capable of delivering the goods in the upcoming tours. Who are you backing in the Sixer Market? Add them to your portfolio before it's too late!
