The first week of the Super 12 round of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20-world-cup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">T20 World Cup 2022</a> has been done and dusted. In seven days of exhilarating cricket, fans saw heavyweight nations Pakistan and England succumbing to Zimbabwe and Ireland respectively.

Unfortunately, mother nature was not kind in the starting stages of round two of the marquee event as one has witnessed four games being washed out. However, amid all the cricket that the fans have been blessed with so far, there have been certain players who have not been able to deliver the goods at the T20 extravaganza and thus, might not feature in the playing XI going ahead.

Let us look at the players who might be dropped after the first week:

Afghanistan backed Azmatullah Omarzai since he made his T20I debut this year due to the skillset he brings to the table. The 22-year-old gives a seam-bowling option to skipper <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/the-duo-has-played-lot-of-cricket-in-australia-asghar-afghan-backs-mohammad-nabi-rashid-khans-bbl-experience-to-help-afghanistan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohammad Nabi</a> and is a handy option with the bat. But the youngster has not performed as per expectations. In 15 matches he has played so far, Omarzai has taken just six wickets at an economy of 8.67 and has managed to score 91 runs at a mediocre strike rate of 97.84.

In Afghanistan’s T20 World Cup encounter against England, the all-rounder failed to impress as he could only manage eight runs off six balls and did not have much impact with the ball either. Following the poor outing, Nabi &amp; Co. could look to drop him going ahead into the marquee tournament.&nbsp;

Given Afghanistan's batting struggled in the first game, Omarzai could be replaced by Darwish Rasooli to strengthen the batting lineup. The Afghan side already have five quality bowlers in their ranks, so the move of drafting in a batter in place of an all-rounder could be on the cards.

Haider Ali has been an exciting prospect in Pakistan's cricketing circles. He has shown glimpses of power-hitting prowess but has not yet made it big in the international arena. He has featured in 33 T20Is and scored 499 runs at a strike rate of 126.32.

The Men in Green liked what they saw in the 22-year-old and selected him for the marquee tournament. It was a golden chance for Haider to showcase his skills at the grandest stage of them all but he failed miserably at the ongoing T20 World Cup, scoring just two runs in two outings played so far.&nbsp;

Due to the dismal showings, the youngster could be dropped from the XI for the next game. Babar Azam &amp; Co. could pick ace finisher <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/asia-cup-2022-asif-ali-loses-cool-after-dismissal-hurls-bat-at-fareed-ahmad-in-furious-spat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Asif Ali</a> in his place who was Pakistan’s X-factor in the last year’s T20 World Cup which saw him smash 57 runs in six games at a strike rate of 237.50. Also, they even have the option of Khushdil Shah for the middle-order role.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/chris-woakes-likely-to-miss-the-first-test-vs-new-zealand-at-lords/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Woakes</a> has been a proven performer in the shortest format of the game. He has featured in 22 T20Is and taken 23 wickets at an economy of 7.79. He is no muck with the bat and has been striking at 145.78 for England.

The veteran pacer was entrusted to provide breakthroughs with the new ball at the global event but he has been at his best. When England locked horns with Afghanistan, Woakes did a decent job giving just 24 runs in a full quota of four overs and taking a wicket. But in the second game against Ireland, he was completely dismantled as he leaked 41 runs in three overs.

The 33-year-old has not been penetrative with the ball and the lone wicket that he has taken in this competition was at the fag end of the innings. Given he conceded heaps of runs against Andrew Balbirnie &amp; Co, Jos Buttler could look to draft David Willey in his place for the following matches.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/twitter-reactions-cricket/will-delete-my-account-if-he-ever-scores-a-half-century-in-t20is-twitter-lashes-out-at-temba-bavuma-after-another-failure/?s=CPL" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Temba Bavuma</a> has been all at sea since he returned to the international fold after sustaining an elbow injury. In the T20I series against India, the 32-year-old scored mere three runs in as many games. The South African skipper’s terrible form continued as he scored eight in the lone ODI he played in the recent culminated tour of India.

Bavuma’s lean patch has extended as he had another failure in the World Cup game against Bangladesh, when he scored just two runs off six deliveries. His batting failures have exposed the middle-order very early in the innings. Thus, his place in the side could be in danger.

Though dropping a skipper from a team in the middle of a high-profile competition is not ideal, it has almost become inevitable. Moreover, South Africa have Reeza Hendricks waiting in the wings. He has been in a rich vein of form in the T20I circuit and has aggregated 323 runs in eight games played this year at a superb strike rate of 139.82. Thus, Bavuma could be sidelined going forward.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/pat-cummins-turns-down-million-dollar-offer-by-indian-leagues-for-australia-duty/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pat Cummins</a> is one of the best fast bowlers in Test cricket at the moment. However, the 29-year-old has not been able to have the same success in the shortest format of the game. In the ongoing T20 carnival as well, he has struggled to find his groove and conceded a lot of runs.

The veteran pacer was all over the place in the inaugural game of the T20 World Cup against New Zealand and leaked 46 runs in four overs. Though Cummins took a wicket when Australia clashed with Sri Lanka, he gave away runs at an economy rate of 9.00. Given the ace pacer's mediocre outings, the team management could ponder over his place in the side.

Australia have a top-quality pace option in Kane Richardson in their squad. The veteran pacer has played a total of 153 T20 games and taken 199 wickets at an economy of 8.02. He is a typical T20 bowler with a lot of variations up his sleeves and also has an excellent yorker at his disposal. He could be looked at to replace out-of-form Cummins in the starting XI.
