World Cup 2019: The 'Impact' XI

The lone spinner

Rashid Khan (Afghanistan)

England v Afghanistan – ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Warm Up

The spin sensation from Afghanistan has been in top form for the last year and a half. He's been picking up wickets quite regularly. Also, he's no mug with the bat. He can chip in with some handy twenties and thirties.

Seamers

Kagiso Rabada (South Africa)

Speed is his primary weapon. On his day, he can be a nasty 'lethal' thing. His pace can unsettle batsmen. No matter how good a batsman you are, Kagiso Rabada will give you a torrid time. South Africa's hopes of ending a title draught rest on the shoulders of Kagiso Rabada. Boy, he's an indomitable force.

Trent Boult (New Zealand)

This lad from Tauranga is the ideal candidate to play James Bond. No, not kidding. This lad is handsome, isn't he? As far as his bowling skills are concerned, he can rip the heart out of any given batting line up when he's on song. Nobody can forget the spell he bowled against the Aussies in the 2015 edition. His ability to move the bowl both ways is believed to be his biggest strength.

West Indies v New Zealand – ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Warm Up

Jasprit Bumrah (India)

India's yorker king. He can clock speeds in excess of 145 km/hr. Also, his slower balls and off-cutters are no less effective. If you are looking for a bowler who can defend seven or eight runs in the final over, then Bumrah's your man.
