T20 World Cup 2024: Team-wise worst pick of the tournament league stage

As we head into the half-way stage of the T20 World Cup tournament, the Super-8 stages are starting to take their final shape. Just one place remains from Group D as the next phase of the tournament begins next week.

Afghanistan and United States of America have been one of the two surprise packages of the tournament. Both sides have made it to the Super-8 phase after playing amazing cricket in the last few weeks. The likes of Fazalhaq Farooqi, Aaron Jones, and Saurabh Netrawalkar have put in some stellar performances in the early phase.

While there were some amazing performances, few players managed to disappoint their team and their fans during the campaign. Either with the bat or with the ball, these players didn’t have a great tournament and turned out to be complete flops.

Let's look at the team-wise worst picks of the T20 World Cup from the league stages:

10. Bangladesh – Soumya Sarkar

The Bangladeshi side had got Soumya Sarkar back into the team as they were struggling with their opening combination. The left-handed batter played just one match in the T20 World Cup tournament. It came when Bangladesh took Sri Lanka in their opening encounter and Soumya Sarkar was out for a 2 ball duck to continue his poor batting form.

9. West Indies - Johnson Charles

Hosts West Indies would have hoped for veteran batter Johnson Charles to be their enforcer with the bat at the top of the order. The 35-year-old though has managed two ducks and a score of 44 from 42 balls as his only decent contribution. His average of 14.8 and strike rate under 100 though makes Johnson Charles one of the worst picks of the league phase stages of the T20 World Cup 2024.
