World Cup 2019: If every team could play a player from other teams, who would it be? 

#2 Australia - Rashid Khan

Australia - Rashid Khan

Over the years, there hasn't been any dearth of quality in the Australian pace bowling attack. The likes of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, Jason Behrenndoff, and Billy Stanlake make the Aussie pace attack one of the best in the world at the moment. On the other hand, their spin bowling attack looks pretty weak. Their best bowler in the test cricket, Nathan Lyon has not been regular in their ODI setup. Even Adam Zampa has been in and out of the team.

Given their not so strong spin attack, the presence of Rashid Khan adds double strength to their squad. Rashid Khan is one of the very few world-class spinners playing around the world at the moment. Rashid became the fastest and the youngest bowler to scalp 100 wickets in ODIs when he dismissed Shai Hope in the final of the Cricket World Cup Qualifier, against the West Indies. Khan just took 44 matches to reach this milestone, breaking the previous record of 52 matches, set by Australia's Mitchell Starc.

Rashid has been exceptionally consistent for the last two years in ODI cricket as he mustered 43 and 48 wickets in 2017 and 2018 respectively. Though he has taken the bulk of those wickets against weaker oppositions, his exploits in Big Bash and similar tournaments across the globe prove that he is a rare talent and can produce results against any opposition.
