On the BBC website, Oliver Brett lists out six players to watch out for in 2009 - one player from each of the two teams touring England in the summer, three up-and-coming players on the county scene attempting to break into the national senior side, and a member from the England women's team.
On sportinglife.com Myles Hodgson tips Yorkshire allrounder Tim Bresnan to make the major impact over the next year.
During his last incarnation as an England player during Fletcher's reign, Bresnan averaged just 17 with the bat from four innings and had an economy rate of 6.76 per over. Since then, however, Bresnan has turned to former England fast bowler Darren Gough, his county captain at Yorkshire for the last two years, and also took advice from Australian seamer Jason Gillespie during his time as overseas player at Headingley during 2006 and 2007.
England women's captain Charlotte Edwards looks back at a phenomenal year for her and her team and hopes to cap it off with a World Cup win in 2009. She speaks to the ECB website:
"This year was different and we played our best XI in every game. We are also lucky that a few of the team are hitting their peak, like myself and Tayls. Others have really come on too, like Caroline Atkins and Beth Morgan. Lydia Greenway has emerged as a world-class player. We have a great balance in the team. We have players who are maturing and youngsters who just want to go out there and play. They have no fear at all."
