Pat Cummins, a ferocious bowling all-rounder from Sydney, has been in an enormous form of late. It goes without saying that Cummins will prove to be an essential player in the Australian line-up at the 2019 World Cup.

In addition to spearheading the bowling attack at the grand 50-over event, Pat will also happen to add a sense of depth to the Australian batting order owing to his decent batting skills. Thus, it is evident that Cummins will find a place in Australia's XI at the 2019 World Cup.

#9 Nathan Coulter-Nile

A tall right-arm bowler from Western Australia, Nathan Coulter-Nile, happens to be one of the most underrated players at the moment. He is too good a player to be benched. In the recent past, Nathan hasn't got many chances to prove himself in the limited overs format.

To be precise, Coulter-Nile has played only a solitary game for Australia since January 2018. However, pending his fierce bowling skills, Australia will look to include him in the playing XI for the World Cup. Moreover, taking the fact that he is an able batsman too, the case gets stronger for Nathan.
