Jofra Archer might not have broken records or topped statistical tables, but it's unlikely that his Test debut would be forgotten anytime soon. From rattling the seemingly unstoppable Steven Smith to extracting express pace and bounce with the old ball, he announced himself on the big stage yet again, after that nerveless Super Over to win England the World Cup last month.
It's not the first time a debut has had 'destined for greatness' stamped all over it. Here are a few from the past two decades, some of whom went on to have prolific international careers, others not so much. Which of these Test debuts do you remember as the most impactful in the last 20 years? Let us know by taking part in the poll below.
