ICC World Cup 2019: Five bowlers who can pose threat to batsmen in England

Five bowlers who can pose a threat to batsmen in England during the showpiece event. 
Jasprit Bumrah (India) | Rated by many as the best bowler in the world at present, Bumrah will hold the key to India's chances of winning the World Cup for the third time. The number one-ranked ODI bowler is known to be a death-overs specialist. His unorthodox action, along with his ability to generate pace and bounce, can be highly tricky for the batsman to score runs. (Photo | AFP)

Kagiso Rabada (South Africa) | The 23-year-old has taken centre stage ever since he made his international debut in November 2015. Rabada's raw pace and his ability to generate bounce and swing on any given track provides skipper Faf du Plessis with an opportunity to pick wickets at any given stage of the game. (Photo | AFP)

Mitchell Starc (Australia) | The left-arm pacer is arguably one of those players who will be closely followed by cricket fans during the World Cup. Starc will have to play a big role in leading the Australian bowling attack in their bid to defend the title they won in 2015 at home. The 29-year-old was in sensational form in the last edition of the World Cup in Australia and was named the Player of the Tournament after he picked 22 wickets in the showpiece event. (Photo | AFP)

Trent Boult (New Zealand) | The New Zealand left-armer has been leading the bowling attack since many years for his team. He, alongside Starc, was the leading wicket-taker in the 2015 World Cup. One of the key aspects which separates Boult with other pacers is his control and accuracy. He can swing the ball day in day out on any pitch across the world. (Photo | AFP)

Hasan Ali (Pakistan) | The 24-year-old Hasan Ali rose from a talented bowler to a match-winner by delivering some dazzling performances during the 2017 Champions Trophy. Ali, who was adjudged the Player of the Tournament in the Champions Trophy, played a pivotal role in Pakistan clinching their maiden title by picking up 13 wickets. Ali is capable of bowling a variety of deliveries and can constantly bowl over 90 mph and remains the go to fast-bowler for Pakistan skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed whenever they are in search of wickets. With 77 ODI wickets in 44 games, the right-arm pacer will be expected by both coach Mickey Arthur and Sarfaraz to replicate his 2017 performance in England and help the Men in Green add another World Cup title to their kitty.
