ICC World Cup 2019: One player from each team who might be the leading wicket taker of the tournament

#2 Adil Rashid (England)

Adil Rashid

Adil Rashid has been England's best spinner in the shorter formats of the game. He came into the international scene in 2009 and played only a couple of games before being dropped. Thereafter, he had to wait for more than six years to play for his country again.

After England's early exit from World Cup 2015, Eoin Morgan included Adil Rashid into the ODI squad. It was the best move from England's limited overs skipper. Since then, he has taken the highest number of wickets for his team in One Day Internationals.

So far, the leg-spinner has played 78 matches and scalped 119 wickets at an average of 30.42 and an economy of about 5.5 with his best figure being 5 for 27.

The 30-year-old was terrific with the ball in the ODIs in 2018 as he picked 42 wickets from just 24 games at an average of about 27.

Even though the pitches in England are known to assist pacers, Adil Rashid has the ability and class to end up as the leading wicket-taker at the 2019 World Cup.
