West Indies are considered to be the dark horse of World Cup 2019. The team are filled with proven match-winners and are more than capable of defeating any side on their given day. With West Indies having a strong fast bowling unit, the spinners might have to take a backseat. And even if West Indies decide to include a spinner, it is likely to be Ashley Nurse and not Fabian Allen.

Pakistan have time and again picked lesser-known players for big tournaments. The trend continued as fast bowler Mohammad Hasnain was selected in Pakistan's World Cup squad. Hasnain has played just five ODIs for Pakistan and does not have great numbers. He has just five ODI scalps to his name with an average of 60.60 and an economy rate of 7.39. With Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz and Hasan Ali in the team, even the highly-rated Shaheen Shah Afridi has been left out of the playing XI. Considering Pakistan's rich fast bowling resource, Hasnain might miss out.
