ICC 2019 World Cup: Predicted Strongest Playing XI for England

#4 Bowlers: Jofra Archer, Liam Plunkett, and Adil Rashid

England Bowlers

Jofra Archer (replacement of David Willey) and Liam Plunkett could be the frontline pacers for the hosts in the World Cup. Barbados-born pacer, Archer is a new addition to England's World Cup squad, while Plunkett with 85 wickets has been the most successful English pacer after the 2015 World Cup. Archer has played only three ODIs but has been picked due to his ability to nail yorkers even with quick pace in the death overs. On the other hand, averaging 28.43 with the ball, Plunkett has picked up 85 wickets with an excellent strike-rate of 28.6 and an economy of less than 6 after World Cup 2015. His strike-rate of 28.6 with the ball is the best among all the English bowler who have appeared in more than 20 matches during this period.

Adil Rashid has been England’s lead spinner and their best bowler after the 2015 World Cup. He has also been the most successful bowler in the world with 129 wickets to his name during this period. Rashid has been Morgan's go-to bowler in the middle overs to break partnerships.
