IPL 2019: 8 players who need to impress to seal World Cup spots

#6 Rajasthan Royals - Jofra Archer

Jofra Archer

The Rajasthan Royals are probably the only side from which no Indian player will make it to the World Cup squad. Ajinkya Rahane's hopes of playing in the premier tournament must be limited to being a backup player and only if injury strikes can he make it to the squad. There are stars from World Cup squads of other teams though, with Steve Smith, Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes leading the line.

Among those who'll be fighting for a spot in their World Cup squads will be Ashton Turner, who doesn't have that much of a chance and Jofra Archer who can actually make it to the squad in time as he has been cleared to play for England.

Archer is one of the best limited-overs bowlers and can be the solution to England's search for a limited overs pacer as the current pace trio consisting of Chris Woakes, Mark Wood and Liam Plunkett have seen better days than these especially in the aftermath of the hammering in West Indies. Archer has all the tricks of the trade and with a decent IPL performance, can seal his place in the World Cup squad though that means that he won't stay for the entire tournament for RR.
