The much-awaited ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 is fast approaching and the contesting teams have started naming their 15-member contingent for the most prized possession in ODI cricket.
Holders England have named Jos Buttler to lead their title defence in India, as the hosts look to secure the coveted prize for the third time in their history. The last time the men in blue held the prize high up in the air was in 2011 under the captaincy of MS Dhoni and have not managed to win the title since. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma will look to remedy the same as he leads the 15-member unit into the illustrious tournament.
Star Indian batsman Virat Kohli’s showing at the headline event could have the sway to determine the fate of the tournament, as it so often does, and he will be looking to get his hands on the grand trophy once again after his 2011 success.
The most successful team in the history of the tournament, Australia, will look to get their name up in lights yet again after the 2015 edition as Pat Cummins leads the men from down under in the blue ribbon tournament.
The five-time World Cup winners have also released the final 15-member unit that they will bring to the 2023 showpiece in the subcontinent.
