Five players to watch during the Cricket World Cup in India, which starts on Oct. 5 and concludes with a final on Nov. 19.

Since that World Cup, he’s averaging almost 68. He’s the only batter in the top five in all three formats of the game and was the International Cricket Council’s ODI player of the year in 2021 and ’22.The tall left-arm paceman’s role in the white ball formats is to bowl full, at the stumps and swing it late at the start of the powerplays. It’s intended to bring all modes of dismissal into play.

He’s taken four or more wickets in six World Cup innings, with best figures of 6-28. It’s a method that can cost runs if he strays off his line, but it can be very effective in Indian conditions — as he demonstrated in March when he took 5-53 in Australia’s 10-wicket win over India during a 2-1 series win. He was included in Australia’s 15-man squad despite a recent injury and a lack of one-day cricket since those three games in March.

At the last World Cup, he was third on the scoring list with 606 runs at an average above 86.5 after posting two centuries and five half-centuries. He was suspended in October 2019 for 12 months for failing to report approaches from bookmakers in the Indian Premier League. He’s the only active player who features in any of the ICC’s all-time top 10 lists. He’s No. 6 in the batting rankings and has a massive following in the world’s most populous nation. The former team captain will turn 35 during the tournament on Nov. 5.
