The ICC ODI World Cup 2023 is about to begin, and no doubt all-rounders in this format of cricket would be game changers as the team management won’t be worried about including a full-time bowler if they already fulfilled the quota of the required bowlers for the matches, plus the added advantage all-rounders provide is in the batting as the batting line-up strengthens further if they are in the team. Here is the list of those all-rounders who are playing in the ICC World Cup 2023 and can be great assets for the teams.
Mitchell Marsh(Australia):
Australia’s star all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has impressed everyone in the cricket community with his last few innings across all formats. He has been extensively utilized by the Australian side in recent matches, and no matter the format he has been playing, he has delivered the required results to the team. He is as effective with the bat as with the ball. Mitchell Marsh is a lethal weapon in Australia’s arsenal of all-rounders. Though Australia has all-rounders like Glenn Maxwell, players like Marsh provide an extra advantage to the Aussies.
Ravindra Jadeja(India):
One all-rounder that has been making regular appearances for the Indian side is 34-year-old all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who has the command to stop runs in the middle overs of the game and to score runs in the lower order when India is batting, and it won’t be an exaggeration to say that he is doing well in both departments. He is a strategist and changes his game according to the format and situation. With his left-arm spin, he has the capability to take quick wickets that unsettle the opposition batting order. He would be an ace in the spades for the Indian team in this year’s ODI World Cup.
Rashid Khan(Afghanistan):
Afghanistan’s all-rounder and one of the most exciting cricketers, Rashid Khan, has no doubt provided strength to Afghanistan’s side with his lethal spin bowling and wicket-taking abilities. He is the top wicket taker (combining all formats) for Afghanistan’s side, and as he is quite familiar with the Indian conditions due to his years of IPL playing experience, he will be one of the most vital all-rounders in Afghanistan’s team for the World Cup 2023.
Ben Stokes(England):
Talking about all-rounders and not including England’s one of the greatest all-rounders, Ben Stokes, will be unfair. In recent years, he has taken the sport by storm; some of his performances will be remembered for eternity. He reversed his retirement decision from the ODIs and came back for the World Cup 2023 to give cricket fans more memories. Though he has recovered from the knee injury, seeing him bowl in the 2023 World Cup would be rare, but he is good with the ball as well if he gets the chance to bowl or needs to bowl. The defending champions, England, are eyeing a successful title defense.
Glenn Phillips(New Zealand):
New Zealand, though, has all-rounders like Jimmy Neesham in the World Cup 2023 squad. The new addition to the list is Glenn Phillips. The right-hand dominant player can be a great option for New Zealand in the middle overs as he can bowl the off break and could give some setbacks to the opposition in the middle overs, plus down at number 5, he could bat explosively to score quick runs for the team.
Shakib-Al-Hasan(Bangladesh):
Shakib-Al-Hasan will be captaining Bangladesh’s squad for the ODI World Cup 2023, and the rankings of the ICC show how special he is for the Bangladesh cricket team, as he ranked number one all-rounder in the ICC rankings of ODIs. The Bangladesh team is still empty-handed in terms of the ICC trophies, but as the all-rounder and captain of the Bangladesh team has vast experience playing on Indian soil, he would be someone who would be really effective, apart from left-arm bowler Mustafizur Rahman, who also makes regular appearances in the IPL.
