ODI World Cup is considered to be the pinnacle of International cricket and nothing can beat this marquee event in terms of attention. Since its inception in 1975, teams have always played their best player to win this trophy and it is not surprising that every World Cup win has an amazing story behind it. With everything at stake, teams always prefer to have their strongest players in the squad and that ultimately means as much experience as possible.<o:p></o:p>

With so many players coming back into their sides after long keeping in mind the showpiece event with the likes of Ben Stokes and Ravi Ashwin. However, the mix of youth and players playing their first edition is also important for the energy of the event. As the first-timers have been lucky to lift silverware several times in history may repeat itself.<o:p></o:p>

While the likes of Andrew Symonds (2003) and Virat Kohli (2011) were lucky enough to win the trophy in the first attempt someone like Sachin Tendulkar took sixth time to get past the winning line. Here we will discuss the 10 players who will attempt to grab the silverware in the first attempt but have been exciting players for their teams in the last few years.<o:p></o:p>

Here are the players who will debut for their countries in ODI World Cup 2023:

<o:p>&nbsp;1. </o:p>Shubman Gill (India)<o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

Shubman Gill is considered one of the most exciting talents or the next big thing in Indian cricket. He made the opening position his own through his excellent technique and consistency. Now a mainstay in all 3 formats for India, Shubman will be playing his first limited-overs World Event.<o:p></o:p>

Though it is his first <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cwc-cricket-world-cup/">ODI World Cup</a>,&nbsp; Gill has won the Under-19 World Cup in 2018. He was not just a winning member but the Man of the Series as well. Gill has performed fabulously in ODIs and was successful in displacing Shikhar Dhawan from the spot to partner skipper Rohit Sharma in format. A lot will depend on Gill’s form in the tournament if India wants to win the trophy for the third time.<o:p></o:p>

Shubman Gill is currently number second ODI batter in the ICC rankings and has been continuously batting with an amazing temperament. The 24-year-old is already the highest run-getter of this year and will be eyeing the highest runs in ODIs in a single calendar year. He is one of the players to watch out for this time and will be catching all the eyeballs.<o:p></o:p>

2. Harry Brook (ENG)<o:p></o:p>

England’s Harry Brook is known to be the epitome of new-era batting. He can open, play in the middle, and tonk the ball around like a butcher. Harry Brook has once and again scored exceptionally against the top team to make a name for himself on the world stage in recent times.<o:p></o:p>

He has made his debut in ODI recently and played only 6 games yet but his Test average of 62 and a strike rate of above 90 proves his T20 prowess is not a fluke. No wonder England managed to pit him in the squad even at the cost of veteran Jason Roy. However, he is yet to prove that he can pace his innings in the 50-over cricket to play longer innings in the World event.<o:p></o:p>

Even though with only half a dozen matches under his belt, England will rely a lot on his powerplay batting if they want to set big scores. The Brits are the defending champions and with a weaker bowling setup, they rely heavily on their batting. Jos Buttler-led side has players like <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/cwc-2023-ben-stokes-likely-to-be-ruled-out-of-opening-fixture-vs-new-zealand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Stokes</a>, Liam Livingstone, and Moeen Ali in their squad.<o:p></o:p>

3. Dunith Wellalage (Sri Lanka)<o:p></o:p>

The young sensation Dunith Wellalage will be one of the most exciting players this season. He made an impeccable impact in the Asia Cup 2023 when he ran away with big wickets against World giants India and Pakistan. He is an orthodox left-arm slow bowler who can take advantage of the potential spin-friendly conditions in India.<o:p></o:p>

The 20-year-old made his ODI debut against Australia last year and has not looked back since then. In 19 games that he played, he has taken 19 wickets with an average of 25.37. Apart from his outstanding bowling, he can bat in the lower order as well with a decent technique.<o:p></o:p>

With Hasaranga ruled out of the World Cup Wellalage will lead the spin department with senior Theekshana on his side. He will be looking to make a larger impact in his first World Cup itself as Sri Lanka look to finally win the World Cup after 27 years. Dasun Shanaka will be leading the side to challenge England’s World Title.<o:p></o:p>

4. Haris Rauf (PAK)<o:p></o:p>

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1693839558886_Haris-Rauf-and-Ishan-Kishan.jpeg" alt="Haris Rauf and Ishan Kishan" loading="lazy"><figcaption>Haris Rauf and Ishan Kishan. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Pakistan’s pace bowling has always been their biggest strength and nothing has changed. Haris Rauf, the fast and furious bowler will be shouldering the mantle of leading Pakistan to their 2nd World Cup with Shaheen Afridi as his partner. It is Rauf’s first World Cup but he is an experienced campaigner now and a designated big overs bowler.<o:p></o:p>

In 28 games he has picked up 53 wickets. His ability to bowl at the death with sheer pace makes him very difficult to play. Rauf, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mitchell Starc are known to be the best death bowlers in the World and it won’t be surprising that in the big games, you see a big face-off between them. The Rawalpindi-born player can bowl at 145 km/h+ regularly and if accurate he is very difficult to put away.<o:p></o:p>

Pakistan will start their campaign against The Netherlands and play Sri Lanka in the next game. As they play at a few venues, Rauf can be very lethal being a rhythm bowler. If he can understand the dimensions snd conditions well Pakistan can hope for a magical performance from their speedster.<o:p></o:p>

5. Marco Jansen<o:p></o:p>

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1665559723358_Marco-jansen.jpeg" alt="Marco jansen" loading="lazy"><figcaption>Marco jansen. (Photo Source: Ashley Vlotman/Gallo Images/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Another tall pacer, a little taller than other South African pacers Marco Jansen has made his name on the World stage pretty early. He is a left-arm pacer and that helps him with the angle to trouble the right-handers. He will be playing his first World Cup after making his debut against India in 2022.<o:p></o:p>

Jansen can be effective with bat as well apart from being a wicket-taking bowler. So far in his short career he has picked up 18 wickets in 14 games and has scored 265 runs with an average of 29.44 and SR of 114.72. His performance in both the department provides South Africa with amazing balance.<o:p></o:p>

He would like to continue his amazing form which led to beating Australia 3-2 after being down at 0-2. There have been talks of him being promoted up the order considering his temperament. With Nortje ruled out, he will also handle the new ball with Kagiso Rabada to good effect.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;6. </o:p>Cameron Green<o:p></o:p>

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1663693944926_Cameron-Green-1.jpeg" alt="Cameron Green" loading="lazy"><figcaption>Cameron Green (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

If your team has a hard-hitting all-rounder who can bat at the lower order and can open the innings, that dream is Cameron Green. He can bowl at a decent pace and can be extremely vital with bat. Green has shown his capability in the Test format and now is the time for him to showcase his talent in ODIs<o:p></o:p>

He made his ODI debut against India in 2020 and hasn’t looked back. He had a decent IPL and his ODI performance has also been honourable. He has an average of 34.45 in the 20 games with bat and on the bowling front, he has grabbed 16 scalps but has been a touch on the expensive side.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

In his first World Cup, his role will be lower-order power hitting and containing the batters during the middle overs. Australia will be eyeing their 6th World Cup and they heavily rely on their batting depth. However, no one ruled out their pace attack with Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood supported by their 3 pace all-rounders.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;7. </o:p>Mohammad Wasim Jr<o:p></o:p>

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1694857760742_Mohammad-Wasim-Jr.jpeg" alt="Mohammad Wasim Jr" loading="lazy"><figcaption>Mohammad Wasim Jr. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

The 22-year-old pacer from Pakistan has been a part of the squad for a long now. He debuted last year against Australia at Gaddafi Stadium and should be an important member in his first World Cup. He can also be a useful tailender who can Tonk the ball around.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>He never got a long run as Pakistan always preferred Shaheen Afridi, Haris Raif, and Naseem Shah but the chance may have arrived for Wasim now. With Naseem Shah ruled out because of injury he may play as the 3rd pacer. The only choice is between Hasan Ali and him.<o:p></o:p>

With 24 wickets in 16 games, he had a couple of good outings but his new-ball bowling is crucial for Pakistan. Pakistan has been struggling in recent times with Asia Cup performance being dismal and a team struggling with injury. Babar Azam and co. have never played in India and that can be a deciding factor.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;8. </o:p>Rachin Ravindra<o:p></o:p>

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/featureimage/2021/09/Rachin-Ravindra.jpg" alt="Rachin Ravindra" loading="lazy"><figcaption>Rachin Ravindra. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Rachin Ravindra has been promising and promising for a long. He can bat in the middle order and at the top but his spin bowling can construct big webs for batters in these spin-friendly conditions. Ravindra made his debut this year and will be playing his first World Cup.<o:p></o:p>

So far in 12 games, he has picked up 12 wickets. Also, with bat, he has scored 189 runs with an average above 23. If New Zealand decides to play multiple spinners, Rachin can be their Trump card. It won’t be surprising if Rachin opens the innings in a few games as he did in the Warm-up game. <o:p></o:p>

New Zealand has been a dark horse in the World Cups so far. They won the World Test Championship Final in 2021 and were runner-up for the 2015 and 2019 World Cup. With Kane Williamson back in the squad, the Kiwis have amazing chances of another strong tournament.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;9. </o:p>Najmul Hossain Shanto<o:p></o:p>

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1686308400951_Najmul-Hossain-Shanto.jpeg" alt="Najmul Hossain Shanto" loading="lazy"><figcaption>Najmul Hossain Shanto. (Photo Source: MUNIR UZ ZAMAN/AFP via Getty Images)</figcaption>

Najmul Hossain Shanto is playing his first World and will also handle the vice-captaincy. The 25-year-old made his ODI debut in 2018 against Afghanistan but missed out on making it to the 2019 squad. He is left left-handed batter and can bowl off spin to good effect.<o:p></o:p>

With Bangladesh cricket under controversies of Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan’s stand, the country will expect a lot from their new vice-captain. So far he has an experience of 30 games in which he has scored 908 runs with an average of above 31. It will be important for the team to hold one end and not allow wickets to fall in the middle overs.<o:p></o:p>

Bangladesh have had their moments in the past in this marquee tournament but they have never reached the Semi Finals. They qualified for the quarter-final in 2015 and defeated India and South Africa in 2007. This time in his first tournament Shanto will carry a lot of burden to finally take the team to the Semi Finals.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;10. </o:p>Suryakumar Yadav<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/theres-a-guy-called-suryakumar-yadav-heard-of-his-name-suryakumar-yadav-shows-his-playful-side-8744/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Suryakumar Yadav</a> made his ODI debut in 2021 against Sri Lanka after a few amazing IPL seasons and setting the World on fire with his outstanding T20I batting. He is currently the number 1 T20I batter in the World but is yet to showcase the same talent in ODIs. In his first World Cup, he can turn out to be the match-winner that India has been searching for.<o:p></o:p>

In 30 games he has scored 667 runs in ODIs with just four 50+ scores. His average of 27.79 doesn’t do any justice to his exceptional talent but his SR of 105.71 is the key factor in his selection. He may be extremely lethal if India tries to play him in the lower order as he can strike big with the range of shots he has in the death overs.<o:p></o:p>

As suggested by the team management, India may play him at number 6 after the solid middle order to provide that X factor. If Sky can get it right, he may turn out to be the game-changer. India started their journey with the game against Australia on October 8, at Chennai, in their quest to get the third World Cup.<o:p></o:p>

ODI World Cup is considered to be the pinnacle of International cricket and nothing can beat this marquee event in terms of attention.

Najmul Hossain Shanto is playing his first World and will also handle the vice-captaincy. The 25-year-old made his ODI debut in 2018 against Afghanistan but missed out on making it to the 2019 squad. He is left left-handed batter and can bowl off spin to good effect.<o:p></o:p>
With Bangladesh cricket under controversies of Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan’s stand, the country will expect a lot from their new vice-captain. So far he has an experience of 30 games in which he has scored 908 runs with an average of above 31. It will be important for the team to hold one end and not allow wickets to fall in the middle overs.<o:p></o:p>
Bangladesh have had their moments in the past in this marquee tournament but they have never reached the Semi Finals. They qualified for the quarter-final in 2015 and defeated India and South Africa in 2007. This time in his first tournament Shanto will carry a lot of burden to finally take the team to the Semi Finals.<o:p></o:p>

He is currently the number 1 T20I batter in the World but is yet to showcase the same talent in ODIs. In his first World Cup, he can turn out to be the match-winner that India has been searching for.<o:p></o:p>
In 30 games he has scored 667 runs in ODIs with just four 50+ scores. His average of 27.79 doesn’t do any justice to his exceptional talent but his SR of 105.71 is the key factor in his selection. He may be extremely lethal if India tries to play him in the lower order as he can strike big with the range of shots he has in the death overs.<o:p></o:p>
As suggested by the team management, India may play him at number 6 after the solid middle order to provide that X factor. If Sky can get it right, he may turn out to be the game-changer. India started their journey with the game against Australia on October 8, at Chennai, in their quest to get the third World Cup.<o:p></o:p>

ODI World Cup is considered to be the pinnacle of International cricket and nothing can beat this marquee event in terms of attention. Since its inception in 1975, teams have always played their best player to win this trophy and it is not surprising that every World Cup win has an amazing story behind it. With everything at stake, teams always prefer to have their strongest players in the squad and that ultimately means as much experience as possible.<o:p></o:p>
With so many players coming back into their sides after long keeping in mind the showpiece event with the likes of Ben Stokes and Ravi Ashwin. However, the mix of youth and players playing their first edition is also important for the energy of the event. As the first-timers have been lucky to lift silverware several times in history may repeat itself.<o:p></o:p>
While the likes of Andrew Symonds (2003) and Virat Kohli (2011) were lucky enough to win the trophy in the first attempt someone like Sachin Tendulkar took sixth time to get past the winning line. Here we will discuss the 10 players who will attempt to grab the silverware in the first attempt but have been exciting players for their teams in the last few years.<o:p></o:p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">Here are the players who will debut for their countries in ODI World Cup 2023:</h3>
<h3 class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;1. </o:p>Shubman Gill (India)<o:p></o:p></h3>
<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

</figure>
Shubman Gill is considered one of the most exciting talents or the next big thing in Indian cricket. He made the opening position his own through his excellent technique and consistency. Now a mainstay in all 3 formats for India, Shubman will be playing his first limited-overs World Event.<o:p></o:p>
Though it is his first <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cwc-cricket-world-cup/">ODI World Cup</a>,&nbsp; Gill has won the Under-19 World Cup in 2018. He was not just a winning member but the Man of the Series as well. Gill has performed fabulously in ODIs and was successful in displacing Shikhar Dhawan from the spot to partner skipper Rohit Sharma in format. A lot will depend on Gill’s form in the tournament if India wants to win the trophy for the third time.<o:p></o:p>
Shubman Gill is currently number second ODI batter in the ICC rankings and has been continuously batting with an amazing temperament. The 24-year-old is already the highest run-getter of this year and will be eyeing the highest runs in ODIs in a single calendar year. He is one of the players to watch out for this time and will be catching all the eyeballs.<o:p></o:p>

<h3 class="MsoNormal">2. Harry Brook (ENG)<o:p></o:p></h3>

</figure>
England’s Harry Brook is known to be the epitome of new-era batting. He can open, play in the middle, and tonk the ball around like a butcher. Harry Brook has once and again scored exceptionally against the top team to make a name for himself on the world stage in recent times.<o:p></o:p>
He has made his debut in ODI recently and played only 6 games yet but his Test average of 62 and a strike rate of above 90 proves his T20 prowess is not a fluke. No wonder England managed to pit him in the squad even at the cost of veteran Jason Roy. However, he is yet to prove that he can pace his innings in the 50-over cricket to play longer innings in the World event.<o:p></o:p>
Even though with only half a dozen matches under his belt, England will rely a lot on his powerplay batting if they want to set big scores. The Brits are the defending champions and with a weaker bowling setup, they rely heavily on their batting. Jos Buttler-led side has players like <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/cwc-2023-ben-stokes-likely-to-be-ruled-out-of-opening-fixture-vs-new-zealand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Stokes</a>, Liam Livingstone, and Moeen Ali in their squad.<o:p></o:p>

<h3 class="MsoNormal">3. Dunith Wellalage (Sri Lanka)<o:p></o:p></h3>
<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>
<figure class="image align-center"><img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1687325469214_Dunith-Wellalage.jpeg" alt="Dunith Wellalage" loading="lazy">
<figcaption>Dunith Wellalage. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>
</figure>
The young sensation Dunith Wellalage will be one of the most exciting players this season. He made an impeccable impact in the Asia Cup 2023 when he ran away with big wickets against World giants India and Pakistan. He is an orthodox left-arm slow bowler who can take advantage of the potential spin-friendly conditions in India.<o:p></o:p>
The 20-year-old made his ODI debut against Australia last year and has not looked back since then. In 19 games that he played, he has taken 19 wickets with an average of 25.37. Apart from his outstanding bowling, he can bat in the lower order as well with a decent technique.<o:p></o:p>
With Hasaranga ruled out of the World Cup Wellalage will lead the spin department with senior Theekshana on his side. He will be looking to make a larger impact in his first World Cup itself as Sri Lanka look to finally win the World Cup after 27 years. Dasun Shanaka will be leading the side to challenge England’s World Title.<o:p></o:p>

<h3 class="MsoNormal">4. Haris Rauf (PAK)<o:p></o:p></h3>
<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1693839558886_Haris-Rauf-and-Ishan-Kishan.jpeg" alt="Haris Rauf and Ishan Kishan" loading="lazy">
<figcaption>Haris Rauf and Ishan Kishan. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>
</figure>
Pakistan’s pace bowling has always been their biggest strength and nothing has changed. Haris Rauf, the fast and furious bowler will be shouldering the mantle of leading Pakistan to their 2nd World Cup with Shaheen Afridi as his partner. It is Rauf’s first World Cup but he is an experienced campaigner now and a designated big overs bowler.<o:p></o:p>
In 28 games he has picked up 53 wickets. His ability to bowl at the death with sheer pace makes him very difficult to play. Rauf, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mitchell Starc are known to be the best death bowlers in the World and it won’t be surprising that in the big games, you see a big face-off between them. The Rawalpindi-born player can bowl at 145 km/h+ regularly and if accurate he is very difficult to put away.<o:p></o:p>
Pakistan will start their campaign against The Netherlands and play Sri Lanka in the next game. As they play at a few venues, Rauf can be very lethal being a rhythm bowler. If he can understand the dimensions snd conditions well Pakistan can hope for a magical performance from their speedster.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">5. Marco Jansen<o:p></o:p></h3>
<figure class="image align-center"><img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1665559723358_Marco-jansen.jpeg" alt="Marco jansen" loading="lazy">

</figure>
Another tall pacer, a little taller than other South African pacers Marco Jansen has made his name on the World stage pretty early. He is a left-arm pacer and that helps him with the angle to trouble the right-handers. He will be playing his first World Cup after making his debut against India in 2022.<o:p></o:p>
Jansen can be effective with bat as well apart from being a wicket-taking bowler. So far in his short career he has picked up 18 wickets in 14 games and has scored 265 runs with an average of 29.44 and SR of 114.72. His performance in both the department provides South Africa with amazing balance.<o:p></o:p>
He would like to continue his amazing form which led to beating Australia 3-2 after being down at 0-2. There have been talks of him being promoted up the order considering his temperament. With Nortje ruled out, he will also handle the new ball with Kagiso Rabada to good effect.<o:p></o:p>

<h3 class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;6. </o:p>Cameron Green<o:p></o:p></h3>
<figure class="image align-center"><img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1663693944926_Cameron-Green-1.jpeg" alt="Cameron Green" loading="lazy">
<figcaption>Cameron Green (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>
</figure>
If your team has a hard-hitting all-rounder who can bat at the lower order and can open the innings, that dream is Cameron Green. He can bowl at a decent pace and can be extremely vital with bat. Green has shown his capability in the Test format and now is the time for him to showcase his talent in ODIs<o:p></o:p>
He made his ODI debut against India in 2020 and hasn’t looked back. He had a decent IPL and his ODI performance has also been honourable. He has an average of 34.45 in the 20 games with bat and on the bowling front, he has grabbed 16 scalps but has been a touch on the expensive side.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
In his first World Cup, his role will be lower-order power hitting and containing the batters during the middle overs. Australia will be eyeing their 6th World Cup and they heavily rely on their batting depth. However, no one ruled out their pace attack with Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood supported by their 3 pace all-rounders.<o:p></o:p>

<h3 class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;7. </o:p>Mohammad Wasim Jr<o:p></o:p></h3>
<figure class="image align-center"><img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1694857760742_Mohammad-Wasim-Jr.jpeg" alt="Mohammad Wasim Jr" loading="lazy">
<figcaption>Mohammad Wasim Jr. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>
</figure>
The 22-year-old pacer from Pakistan has been a part of the squad for a long now. He debuted last year against Australia at Gaddafi Stadium and should be an important member in his first World Cup. He can also be a useful tailender who can Tonk the ball around.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>He never got a long run as Pakistan always preferred Shaheen Afridi, Haris Raif, and Naseem Shah but the chance may have arrived for Wasim now. With Naseem Shah ruled out because of injury he may play as the 3rd pacer. The only choice is between Hasan Ali and him.<o:p></o:p>
With 24 wickets in 16 games, he had a couple of good outings but his new-ball bowling is crucial for Pakistan. Pakistan has been struggling in recent times with Asia Cup performance being dismal and a team struggling with injury. Babar Azam and co. have never played in India and that can be a deciding factor.<o:p></o:p>

<h3 class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;8. </o:p>Rachin Ravindra<o:p></o:p></h3>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/featureimage/2021/09/Rachin-Ravindra.jpg" alt="Rachin Ravindra" loading="lazy">
<figcaption>Rachin Ravindra. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>
</figure>
Rachin Ravindra has been promising and promising for a long. He can bat in the middle order and at the top but his spin bowling can construct big webs for batters in these spin-friendly conditions. Ravindra made his debut this year and will be playing his first World Cup.<o:p></o:p>
So far in 12 games, he has picked up 12 wickets. Also, with bat, he has scored 189 runs with an average above 23. If New Zealand decides to play multiple spinners, Rachin can be their Trump card. It won’t be surprising if Rachin opens the innings in a few games as he did in the Warm-up game. <o:p></o:p>
New Zealand has been a dark horse in the World Cups so far. They won the World Test Championship Final in 2021 and were runner-up for the 2015 and 2019 World Cup. With Kane Williamson back in the squad, the Kiwis have amazing chances of another strong tournament.<o:p></o:p>

<h3 class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;9. </o:p>Najmul Hossain Shanto<o:p></o:p></h3>
<figure class="image align-center"><img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1686308400951_Najmul-Hossain-Shanto.jpeg" alt="Najmul Hossain Shanto" loading="lazy">

Najmul Hossain Shanto is playing his first World and will also handle the vice-captaincy. The 25-year-old made his ODI debut in 2018 against Afghanistan but missed out on making it to the 2019 squad. He is left left-handed batter and can bowl off spin to good effect.<o:p></o:p>
With Bangladesh cricket under controversies of Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan’s stand, the country will expect a lot from their new vice-captain. So far he has an experience of 30 games in which he has scored 908 runs with an average of above 31. It will be important for the team to hold one end and not allow wickets to fall in the middle overs.<o:p></o:p>
Bangladesh have had their moments in the past in this marquee tournament but they have never reached the Semi Finals. They qualified for the quarter-final in 2015 and defeated India and South Africa in 2007. This time in his first tournament Shanto will carry a lot of burden to finally take the team to the Semi Finals.<o:p></o:p>
