Kohli is in Guwahati with the team for the Cricket World Cup warm-up match against England, but after the game canceled due to rain, he had to travel to Mumbai due to some emergency reason. However, he appears to have fulfilled his commitments in Mumbai and is set to rejoin the team ahead of their first match of the competition in Chennai, where they take on multiple champions Australia on October 8.

Kohli’s Absence from India’s Training Session Raises Eyebrows

Kohli did not join the team’s extra training session in Thiruvananthapuram due to personal reasons but is expected to join the team ahead of the second warm-up session against the Netherlands. This was an optional session. He is expected to join the team soon and could play in the warm-up game if required, a BCCI source familiar with the development told PTI on condition of anonymity.

On the day, captain Rohit Sharma, batter Shreyas Iyer and pacer Mohammed Shami also missed the session, which featured the likes of Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and veteran spin duo Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.

The Cricket World Cup warm-up match against the Dutch will be India’s last chance to get game time before the tournament begins against Australia in Chennai on October 8. The Indians had a full session with Gill, Surya and K.L. Rahul batted for a significant amount of time against the likes of Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.

Ashwin and Jadeja have also been turning hands for a long time as they both have a huge role to play in this Cricket World Cup on tracks that are expected to offer twists.

Cricket World Cup team guide: Will England defend title? Will India triumph on home soil

Defending champions England, along with India, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, the Netherlands and Bangladesh will take part in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup. England will enter the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup as defending champions, but hosts India are favorites to win in Ahmedabad on November 19.

Five-time winners Australia, along with New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, the Netherlands and Bangladesh complete the 10-team tournament, which begins on Thursday when England meet New Zealand in a repeat of the 2019 final.

England Cricket World Cup team

Best result: Winners (2019)
2019 result: Winners – by the barest of margins!
Coach: Matthew Mott

Full squad: Jos Buttler (captain), Moeen Ali, Gus Atkinson, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Reece Topley, David Willey, Mark Wood, Chris Woakes.

Run-maker: Jos Buttler. Probably England’s most consistent player since winning the trophy. He led from the front when he took over the captaincy from Eoin Morgan last year. His high-profile exploits in the IPL in recent years also mean that he is well equipped to know how to win games in Indian conditions.

India Vs Srilanka Tickets | CWC Tickets

Wicket-taker: Chris Woakes. On paper, he is England’s best bowler and most durable player. He will likely take the new ball when selected and his power play will be crucial.

England should reach at least the semi-finals, but whether they can retain the title and continue their dominance as two-time white-ball world champions will depend on how quickly they develop their strongest team. While there will be some squad rotation required in a tournament where they will play nine group matches in 30 days, a failure to find the right balance has punctuated their ODI performances since the last Cricket World Cup.

Ben Stokes appears to have vindicated his decision to retire from ODIs after his record-breaking 182 against New Zealand at the Kia Oval last month. But if he is unable to play, he will need to make a crucial contribution from the middle order if England are to win the big moments.

India Cricket World Cup team

Best result: Winners (1983, 2011)
2019 result: Semi-finals (lost to New Zealand)
Coach: Rahul Dravid

Full squad: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin

Run-maker: Shubman Gill. At just 24 years of age, the right-hander already has over 1,900 ODI runs to his name at an average of 66.10. A strike rate of just over 102 shows how quickly he can score too, with eight ODI centuries and nine half-centuries to his name in 35 matches.

India Vs Srilanka Tickets | CWC Tickets
India Vs Srilanka Tickets | CWC Tickets

Wicket-taker: Mohammed Siraj. The paceman enters the tournament as the world’s No. 1 ODI bowler and has an average of 19.11 in the 50-over format with a strike rate of 24. Siraj has taken 53 wickets in 29 ODIs so far.

Prospects: As the host nation and the world’s number one ranked ODI team, India will undoubtedly be participating in the Cricket World Cup for the third time. They did just that when they hosted the tournament with Bangladesh and Sri Lanka 12 years ago, and nothing less will satisfy their passionate fans.

Afghanistan Cricket World Cup team

Best result: Group stage (2015, 2019)
2019 result: 10th in group stage
Coach: Jonathan Trott

Full squad: Hashmatullah Shahidi (captain), Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, Riaz Hassan, Rahmat Shah, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Ikram Alikhil, Azmatullah Omarzai, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Noor Ahmad, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Abdul Rahman, Naveen ul Haq.

Run-maker: Ibrahim Zadran’s last seven ODIs have been either feast or famine, with a century and two fifties mixed in with two ducks and scores of one and seven. Afghanistan will be hoping that Zadran feasts on India and brings his high quality bowling attack to play while trying to score a giant kill or two. Zadran’s first partnership with Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who recently smoked 145 cigarettes against Bangladesh and 151 against Pakistan, could prove decisive.

Wicket-taker: Rashid Khan. We didn’t go left with this choice. We went with the main man. The leg-spin wizard has taken 172 wickets in 94 ODIs at an average of sub-20 and a strike rate of 27.70, although his record against more established cricketing nations is not as strong. Rashid wasn’t at his best in the recent Asia Cup either, but he has vast experience in Indian conditions in the IPL.

India Vs Srilanka Tickets | CWC Tickets
India Vs Srilanka Tickets | CWC Tickets

Prospects: Afghanistan had to pull off a few upsets at the 2019 World Cup in England, losing all nine matches, but the Indian conditions should suit them better. Finishing anywhere other than bottom of the table will mean progress and they will be looking to at least eclipse the Netherlands, but they will also be hoping to beat some big guns. The bowling attack, which also includes spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman and seamers Fazalhaq Farooqi and Naveen ul Haq, gives them a chance.

Australia Cricket World Cup team

Best result: Winners (1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2015)
2019 result: Semi-finalists (Beaten by England)
Captain: Pat Cummins
Coach: Andrew McDonald

Full squad: Pat Cummins (captain), Sean Abbott, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, David Warner, Adam Zampa.

Run-maker: David Warner has been prolific throughout his ODI career, scoring 6397 runs in 150 matches. His strike rate is an excellent 96.44, making him a dangerous opener in this Australian team. He has scored 390 runs in nine matches at a strike rate of 119.26 in 2023 and you wouldn’t bet against him putting on a show in India.

Wicket-taker: In India, spin bowling always plays an important role, and in Australia they have a spin bowler named Adam Zampa. He is his team’s leading wicket-taker in 2023, with 15 wickets in nine games and an economy rate of just 6.29.

India Vs Srilanka Tickets | CWC Tickets
India Vs Srilanka Tickets | CWC Tickets

Prospects: Australia should never be counted out as a potential winner. They have won this tournament more than anyone else and once again have a strong squad and the late addition of Marnus Labuschagne only adds to the firepower. However, they have not had the best year in terms of ODI cricket, losing six of the 11 matches they have played so far. Australia could do well in India, but it faces a difficult task.

Bangladesh Cricket World Cup team

Best result: Quarter-finals (2015)
2019 result: Eighth in group stage
Coach: Chandika Hathurusingha

Full squad: Shakib Al Hasan (captain), Mushfiqur Rahim, Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mehedi Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Hasan Mahmud, Nasum Ahmed, Mahedi Hasan, Tanzim Hasan, Tanzid Hasan, Mahmudullah.

Run-maker: With Tamim Iqbal out due to a persistent back problem, Najmul Hossain Shanto along with veteran Mushfiqur Rahim may have to do most of the scoring. Shanto has scored just around 700 runs in ODIs in 2023, including three consecutive 50-plus scores during September’s Asia Cup when he scored 104 against Afghanistan. Mushfiqur, who remains as stylish and slick as ever, has added nearly 600 runs this year.

Wicket-taker: Taskin Ahmed. When we think of Bangladesh’s bowling attack, we tend to mention spin and the Tigers certainly have some good spinners in Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz, but the slippery and quick right-arm Taskin has taken 21 wickets in ODI cricket in this year. Teams won’t like facing him and left-arm spinner Mustafizur Rahman.

India Vs Srilanka Tickets | CWC Tickets
India Vs Srilanka Tickets | CWC Tickets

Prospects: The tournament may represent the last hurray for Bangladesh’s golden generation of players: Shakib, Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah are now over 35, but it would be a surprise if they were to challenge for a place in the semi-finals. Tamim’s exclusion caused problems, with the man himself saying he would have been ready to play and Shakib calling the ax batter “childish” amid reports that he would have objected to the order being overturned had he been selected. The Tigers’ form has also dipped since their home defeat to Afghanistan in July, although they may be missing some big strikers.

New Zealand Cricket World Cup team

Best result: Runners-up (2015, 2019)
2019 result: Lost to England in the final
Coach: Gary Stead

Full squad: Kane Williamson (captain), Trent Boult, Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Jimmy Neesham, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Will Young.

Run-maker: Daryl Mitchell. The all-rounder is New Zealand’s leading ODI scorer this calendar year with 652 runs at an average of 43.46. He was named one of Wisden’s five Cricketers of the Year for 2023 and proved why last month by scoring 118 not out from 91 balls in the first ODI win over England in Cardiff. The 32-year-old will hope to continue his fine form at his debut 50-over World Cup.

Wicket-taker: 

Trent Boult. The fast bowler’s participation in this World Cup seemed unlikely more than a year ago after he was released from his main contract in August 2022. But Boult made a surprise return last month against England to play his first ODI in almost a year – and has done so ever since. revealed that he still got it.

He took three wickets in the return game at Southampton, then five at Kia Oval and then took two wickets on the tour of Bangladesh. Despite his year-long absence, Boult is still New Zealand’s leading ODI bowler, ranked fifth in the charts, and at the age of 34 he brings a wealth of experience to the team as they embark on a final quest to avenge those two World Cups. defeats of which he was a part.

Prospects: No one is seriously talking about New Zealand lifting the trophy in India. In fact, they are not even on the radar as key players Williamson, Tim Southee and Mitchell Santner recover from injury. But what the Black Caps do have is a lot of tournament know-how: they won the 2021 World Test Championship, were runners-up in the 2021 T20 World Cup and have reached the last two 50-over World Cup finals. Can they finally take another step forward this year and make it third time lucky? Bookmakers suggest not, but New Zealand like it – they can never be ruled out.

Netherlands Cricket World Cup team

Best result: Group stage (1996, 2003, 2007, 2011)
2019 result: Did not qualify
Coach: Ryan Cook

Full squad: Scott Edwards (captain), Max O’Dowd, Bas de Leede, Vikram Singh, Teja Nidamanuru, Paul van Meekeren, Colin Ackermann, Roelof van der Merwe, Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Ryan Klein, Wesley Barresi, Saqib Zulfiqar, Shariz Ahmad, Sybrand Engelbrecht.

Run-maker: Max O’Dowd. The New Zealand opener will be hoping to give this tournament’s underdogs a decent start with the bat. He usually scores at some level, failing to reach double figures only once in his last 13 knocks, with the highlights during that time being 90 against Nepal and 81 against Zimbabwe. But the World Championship is a different level.

Wicket-taker: Bas de Leede. The Dutch all-rounder, whose father Tim played for the Netherlands in two World Cups, could well be our choice as a run-maker as he scored 123 from 92 balls against Scotland to secure their place in the tournament. But he is also a threat on the ball. Fast and dangerous, as Scotland saw in that aforementioned match when he took five wickets before his heroic knock.

Prospects: Let’s be realistic. The Netherlands are not going to win the World Cup (famous last words) but they will be dreaming of a scalp or two and are likely to mark Bangladesh and Afghanistan as their most likely wins. For the first time since 2011, Dutch fans will simply enjoy the ride as their extra entrant in the 50-player tournament.

Pakistan Cricket World Cup team

Best result: Winners (1992)
2019 result: Fifth in the group stage
Coach: Grant Bradburn

Full squad: Babar Azam (captain), Shadab Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Abdullah Shafique, Mohammad Rizwan, Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Salman Ali Agha, Mohammad Nawaz, Usama Mir, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Wasim.

Run-maker: Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is currently ranked number one in the ICC rankings and has scored 5409 runs in his 108 games to date with 19 hundreds and 28 fifties at an average of 58.14.

Wicket-taker: In the absence of the injured Naseem Shah, Pakistan will rely on the equally fast Shaheen Shah Afridi to be the wicket-taker. The left-arm spinner played a big role in the T20 World Cup in Australia last year, taking 11 wickets as Pakistan reached the final.

Prospects:  Pakistan were battling India and Australia for the top spot in the ODI rankings this year. They beat New Zealand 4–1 in a five-match ODI series in May and then defeated Afghanistan 3–0 in August before missing out on the Asian Cup final in September, a tournament in which they were defeated by India by a score of 228 rounds.

Pakistan are one of the most unpredictable teams, coming close to elimination at last year’s T20 World Cup before bouncing back to reach the final. They haven’t played an ODI in India since 2012 but the conditions may not be much different from what they are used to and they will have to fight for a place in the Cricket World Cup semi-finals.

South Africa Cricket World Cup team

Best result: Semi-finals x 4 (1992, 1999, 2007, 2015)
2019 result: Seventh in group stage
Coach: Rob Walter

Full squad: Temba Bavuma (captain), Gerald Coetzee, Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendricks, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Rassie van der Dussen, Lizaad Williams.

Run-maker: 

Temba Bavuma. Rassie van der Dussen deserves a mention for some remarkable years of performance in the 50 overs format. Between his debut in early 2019 and his fourth ODI ton against England earlier this year, his average was over 70! However, the timing of this tournament unfortunately coincides with the leanest period of his Proteas career, with the 34-year-old averaging 23.80 and just one fifty in his 10 matches since.

However, this is certainly not the case with Bavuma as the captain has been in scintillating form with the bat in 2023. The opener has scored three of his five career ODI hundreds this calendar year at an average of 79.62. Regarded as a top batting talent for the better part of a decade, the 33-year-old is finally making it, thriving under the added weight of captaincy.

Wicket-taker: Kagiso Rabada Losing fellow fast bowler Anrich Nortje to injury is a blow as South Africa should have boasted the most formidable battery of fast bowlers in the tournament, including Rabada, Lungi Ngidi and left-arm variety Marco Jansen. Even without Nortje, pace bowling remains South Africa’s strength.

Kagiso Rabada: The Leader of South Africa’s Bowling Attack

Rabada is a leader in many ways: the 28-year-old is now a veteran of the international stage, with 144 wickets in 92 ODIs at an average of 27.25. Regularly clocking speeds in excess of 90mph, he is a fearsome bowler of the highest order, while also not shying away from having a word or two about the opposition’s batting.

Prospects: South Africa have reached the semi-finals four times out of seven appearances at the World Cup, in different years (1992, 1999, 2007 and 2015). After failing in the group stage four years ago, it’s clear that we’ll be heading to the final four again.

South Africa’s History of World Cup Heartbreak

The Proteas had never won a Cricket World Cup before and all four of those semi-finals ended in heartbreak, earning them the title of tournament chokers. Could 2023 be different?

Well, South Africa certainly came into the tournament in good form, finishing fourth in the ICC ODI world rankings (behind defending champions England) and recording a thrilling 3-2 series win at home over Australia. They also beat Buttler’s team earlier this year.

They not called favourites, but that might suit South Africa as the nickname has carried a lot of weight in the past when they facing a home Cricket World Cup or when they called number one in the world. The boys from Bavuma should firmly established in the squad.

Sri Lanka Cricket World Cup team

Best result: Winners (1996)
2019 result: Sixth in group stage
Coach: Chris Silverwood

Full squad: Dasun Shanaka (captain), Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera, Pathum Nissanka, Dimuth Karunaratne, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dushan Hemantha, Maheesh Theekshana, Dunith Wellalage, Kasun Rajitha, Matheesha Pathirana, Lahiru Kumara, Dilshan Madushanka.

Run-maker: Kusal Mendis has been in stunning form, scoring three fifties during Sri Lanka’s run to the Asia Cup final, followed by an 87-ball 158 in the warm-up against Afghanistan. Meanwhile, top batter Pathum Nissanka has the third-highest ODI runs of anyone in 2023 with his 819 runs scored in 20 innings, including hundreds against Zimbabwe and the West Indies in a Cricket World Cup qualifier that his side dominated. .

Wicket-taker: Mahish Tikshana is a key player for Sri Lanka with his unconventional character. Capable of bowling at any stage of the innings, the 23-year-old has taken 31 wickets in 15 ODIs this year, although he will be coming into this tournament with a hamstring problem and may not be available from the start. Bowling is undoubtedly Sri Lanka’s strength and Mathisha Pathirana and Lahiru Kumara are a couple of excellent bowlers.

Recent Success Under Chris Silverwood

Prospects: Under former England coach Chris Silverwood, Sri Lanka have won 14 of their last 16 ODIs, although that statistic is slightly skewed by the fact that they played lesser teams in the Cricket World Cup qualifiers.

However, they saw off Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan in the Asian Cup before being destroyed by India in the final by 50 runs. Just like in the case of Afghanistan, if Sri Lanka gets runs on the board, it will cause headaches for the teams. These headaches would have been worse had spinner Wanindu Hasaranga not been injured.
