5 key players who helped Windies qualify for 2019 World Cup

#2 Marlon Samuels

Samuels is still going strong at 37

The Jamaican stalwart who registered just two runs fewer than Ewin Lewis although their trajectory over the course of the campaign was starkly similar.

The 37-year old too really got going at the advent of the Super Sixes and his 120-run partnership with Lewis against Scotland rescued Windies from a spectacular collapse.

Samuels showed what they were missing in the disastrous tour of New Zealand in December last year, as he was forced to withdraw with an injury at the eleventh hour.

His average of 47.83 dwarfs that of Lewis and has marked a memorable return to the team.
