9. Alex Carey | Australia
Unless Australia decides to resort back to Matthew Wade for the World Cup, Alex Carey is most likely to be their wicket-keeper. The left-hander has been highly successful in the Big Bash League (BBL) and was one of the leading run-scorers in the last two seasons. The 27-year-old is a big hitter of the cricket ball and is capable of scoring runs very quickly.
However, his performances at the highest level haven’t been as convincing. Carey made his ODI debut in January 2018 and featured in 9 ODIs for the team thus far. But, he only managed to score 246 runs at an average of 27 and a strike rate of 76. Pretty much against his reputation, he only hit two sixes in ODIs thus far in his career and is yet to register a fifty-plus score.
10. Kedar Jadhav | India
India has got a great record in ODI cricket when Kedar Jadhav plays. He is regarded as the ‘golden boy’ or the ‘golden arm’ in the India circle. Jadhav is exceptional with the ball and picks up a wicket every time he’s given the ball. Looking at the current Indian team, Jadhav seems to be a slightly weak link even though he is a good player.
His batting performances aren’t at par with his domestic record. Jadhav scored 1,002 runs in 35 ODI innings at an average of 44 and strike rate of 107. He was unbeaten on 12 occasions and registered four fifties and two hundreds. Even though he can finish the innings well, he isn’t someone who can single-handedly build an innings. Two of his remarkable performances came when he had Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni at the other end. There are still a few questions surrounding his ability.
