Top 4 Associate Cricketers Currently.

Tim David (Singapore)

He plays for the Singapore national team and opens the batting for them. Apart from playing for them, he plays across the world starting from BBL to PSL, where he recently played for Hobart Hurricanes and Lahore Qalandars.

He was made a finisher where he scored more than 200 runs at a strike rate of 150. Being from an associate nation he developed his skill by playing for Western Australia's domestic side for 2 years. There he got to play with Adam Voges etc to develop his batting ability. Having a player like him is a big asset for Singapore. Although he may not have scored many runs he has shown his ability with age too in his side.

Colin Ackermann (Netherlands)

Many would have not heard of him until you have watched the County and Vitality Blast closely. In England, he plays for Leicestershire. Being an allrounder he bowls in the powerplays and can bowl in the depth too.

He has scored more than 8000 runs in FC cricket proving his ability in batting. Overall he can prove out to be a player like Jadeja with his all-around abilities. Apart from him, the Netherlands have plyers like Van de Beek, Van der Gugten, Roelof van der Merwe and Ryan Ten Doeschate who have played worldwide. If all these players play together they would surely be a force to reckon with.

Rohan Mustafa (UAE)

He has been playing for UAE for the past 6 years having loads of experience with him. He is a genuine allrounder where he like Hafeez in the past opens with both the ball and the bat. He is the 2nd leading wicket-taker for them in both the ODIs and T20 cricket.

Although he does not play any cricket apart from playing for UAE he recently played the T10 league where he was his team go-to man. He might turn out to be a legend for the UAE and guide them to play the World cup. 

Calum Macleod (Scotland)

Having made his debut way back in 2008 he has been associated with Scotland for more than 13yrs. His all-time great innings are the ones where he hit a match-winning hundred against England in 2018 at his home ground. This to date is a historical win for the Scottish. 

He has played for counties like Warwickshire, Durham, and Sussex. He has scored more than 2000 ODI runs which many may think is very less but the amount of cricket they play is also very less. With ICC bringing in more playing time for associates and the expansion of teams in the World Cup ,Scotland have a good chance to make it to the World Cup. For that Macleod must play an important part and would be the most experienced player for them by the 2027 World Cup.
