#09 Pat Cummins (Australia)
DOB - 08/05/1993
Age - 26

The defending champions Australia would certainly look to win the World Cup for the second consecutive time. In the soil of their Ashes rivals, they would have substantial inspiration to win and make an imprint. Almost all their players are experienced and are in good form.
After the return of David Warner and Steve Smith, the team looks quite strong. Even the youngest member in their squad, Pat Cummins, is well experienced with 82 wickets in 48 ODI matches. The speedster was also a part of Australia's 2015 World Cup winning squad.
#08 Kuldeep Yadav (India)
DOB - 14/12/1994
Age - 24

Kuldeep Yadav is the youngest player in the Indian World Cup squad. The 24-year-old is a revivalist of the dying art called left-arm chinaman bowling. Kuldeep's variations have been effective in yielding him 87 wickets from just 44 ODI matches.
However, his poor performances during the 2019 Indian Premier League reveals that batsmen have started reading his variations. Thus, there is a tough challenge ahead of him to improve his techniques and retain credibility.
