James Faulkner has emerged as one of Australia's next all-rounders, playing a key role for Tasmania and the Melbourne Stars in recent times.
Stellar performances with the ball led to his international T20 debut against India in January 2012, and also saw him earn a lucrative IPL contract.
Faulkner made his ODI debut in the 2012/13 season against West Indies, impressing with his tight bowling and handy lower order batting.
The 22-year-old is a fierce competitor and an all-rounder destined for further international honours, with many tipping him as a potential starter in the Ashes.
