World Cup 2019: One benched player from each team who should be included in the playing XI

#8 Bangladesh - Rubel Hossain

Rubel Hossain

Bangladesh's lack of wicket-taking options was exposed against England when the hosts plundered 386 runs on a batsman-favored strip. While Saifuddin has picked up wickets, he has also failed to bowl tight lines and has leaked a lot of runs.

Rubel Hossain's pace and more importantly, experience of playing in English conditions could be a major shot in the arm for Bangladesh as they look to collect some more wins in their campaign.

#7 Pakistan - Shaheen Shah Afridi

Shaheen Shah Afridi

After suffering an embarrassing defeat against West Indies in their opening game, Pakistan regain form and stunned the tournament favorites, England, at Nottingham.

However, Pakistan's iconsistency in the bowling department has been a pressing matter of concern. Hasan Ali, in particular has not only leaked runs but has also failed to pick up a single wicket from two games.

Pakistan has a promising pacer in Shaheen Shah Afridi waiting in the wings and they might want to give the youngster a go. Afridi has had a good start to his international career taking 24 ODI wickets in 14 matches and can replace Hasan Ali in the playing XI.
