Bangladesh - Shakib Al Hasan
The rise of the Bangladeshi tigers has been incredible in the last few years. Since the 2012 Asia Cup, Bangladesh has learnt the art of winning matches and their all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has played a dominant role in all their victories. Shakib has led Bangladesh to victory on many occasions, he will be vital to Bangladesh's chances in the World Cup next year.
The 31-year-old's contribution with both, bat and ball, is significant. In 192 ODIs, Shakib has scored 5482 runs at an average of 34.92. He has also scalped 244 wickets in the meantime, he has the ability to dry up runs in the middle overs, he creates pressure on the opposition with his much-needed dot balls in the middle overs of the innings.
His injury in the Asia Cup weakened the Bangladesh line-up albeit they managed to give India a scare in the final of the tournament. With Shakib Al Hasan in their ranks, Bangladesh can aim to create a few upsets in the tournament. The all-rounder will be their most important bet in England next year.
