#4 England - Joe Denly

Joe Denly made his ODI debut way back in 2009 but he lost his place in the team after falling out of favor with selectors. Impressive performances in the domestic cricket earned him a recall in England team at the age of 32.

Considering the fact that he played last ODI almost 10 years ago, selecting him for the World Cup is a brave move. The all-rounder has now got an opportunity to make up for the lost time in the 2019 World Cup.


#5 Sri Lanka - Jeffrey Vandersay

Sri Lanka used to be a hub of talented spinners but now the scenario has changed. The team is struggling in all formats of the game and the selectors had to place bets on inexperienced players. Jeffrey Vandersay caught the attention of the cricket fans in the 2016 World T20.

The right-arm leg-spinner has only played 11 ODIs in his career but none of them has come at home. Recently, the wrist spinners have done well in ODI cricket which might have brought his name into contention for World Cup squad. The 29-year-old has a chance to make his mark on the world stage.
