#5 David Warner

This is slightly contentious for two reasons. Firstly, David Warner is only 32 right now and secondly Warner just lost a year of international cricket because of the ban imposed on him for ball tempering, which would make him one of the hungriest players in world cricket right now. But then at the same time, you have to consider a few things as well.
First of all, Warner would be 36 by the time the next World Cup is upon us and secondly, he's part of the Australian team that is known to be ruthless when it comes to selection. With a game primarily dependent on hand-eye coordination, will Warner be able to keep it together in the later years? It's highly unlikely and that's why, in my view, we could be seeing Warner playing his last World Cup.
