ICC World Cup 2019: England's probable 30-member preliminary squad

Wicketkeepers: Jos Buttler, Alex Davies, Sam Billings and Jonny Bairstow

Wicketkeepers in Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow, who can also keep wickets, are regulars in the ODI XI and can push for a place in the eleven purely as a batsman as well. In Sam Billings, they have an able back-up who has the versatility to open the batting and can come in the middle to tackle spinners with ease.

Butler will be key for England during World cup

Spinners: Adil Rashid, Liam Dawson, Jack Leach, Danny Briggs, Dominic Bess

Adil Rashid has been picking up wickets regularly in the middle overs. In fact, post-2015 World Cup he is the second highest wicket-taker in ODIs with 116 wickets in 69 Innings. With Moeen, he has formed a brilliant partnership to squeeze runs and pick wickets during the second powerplay. England have been trying the likes of Liam Dawson and Jack Leach who have done well in the domestic arena.

Fast bowlers: Tom Curran, Mark Wood, Liam Plunkett, Chris Jordan, Jake Ball, Jofra Archer, Harry Gurney, Jamie Porter

Fast bowling stocks in the English circuit shows quality and variety. Chris Jordan has been their go-to death bowler and has gained experience through playing in various leagues. England have also tweaked their eligibility criteria which have made Jofra Archer available for selection. The likes of Liam Plunkett, Mark Wood, and Tom Curran have been a regular feature in the limited overs and are expected to play a big part in the 2019 World Cup.

Archer will play a big role during World cup if selected in the squad

England's lower-order has been impeccable with the bat. Having scored most runs, most 100+ partnerships, most 50+ partnerships at an average of 42 in the last three years, they are far better than any other team. England also have two or three players in the top seven, who can contribute with the ball. With such depth in the squad, this got to be the best chance for England to win their first ever World Cup.
