da premier bet: Our missing XI is full of men who can keep wicket, with proven hitting prowess and a strong bowling attack to boot
da imperador bet: ESPNcricinfo staff25-Apr-2019The missing XI from the 2019 World Cup, as voted by ESPNcricinfo readers•ESPNcricinfo LtdRishabh Pant was the table-topper from across sides, polling in over 36200 votes at last count, and Chris Morris tallied the highest percentage of votes (62%) for any player. Peter Handscomb and Mohammad Amir were up there too, both unanimously the most hard done by in fans’ opinion. Jofra Archer, who is yet to play an international, was seen by 57% of fans as England’s most high-profile omission, but could yet make the final 15 if he shines in his debut series against Pakistan. And Kieron Pollard, who hasn’t played an ODI since 2016 but is still producing the goods in the ongoing IPL, was the most voted West Indies star. Sunil Narine, also a part of this XI, had been forced out of West Indies’ provisional World Cup plans due to a torn ligament in his right middle finger that has limited the amount of certain deliveries he can bowl in a spell. Narine has been advised rest and rehabilitation once his involvement in the IPL ends.The common theme that emerged across teams is the hardships of being a reserve wicketkeeper. Among our missing XI, Pant and Handscomb were deemed surplus to requirements, and they are just two of three keepers in a line-up that also featured Niroshan Dickwella.
