Samuel Hunt gives the low-down on the ICC Cricket World Cup captains who will be bidding to steer their side to glory when the tournament commences on May 30.

All 10 nations competing in the 2019 Cricket World Cup will be looking for strong leadership from their skippers as the biggest tournament in cricket arrives on English shores. Michael Clarke guided Australia to a World Cup win on home soil four years ago, and Eoin Morgan will be looking to do the same for his rampant England side this time around.

Here are the 10 Cricket World Cup 2019 captains aiming to lead from the front.

Afghanistan’s selectors sprung a surprise by dumping Asghar Afghan as their skipper across formats in April.

Gulbadin Naib is now set to lead the side at the World Cup and he enters it in some decent form. In Tuesday’s ODI against Ireland, the right-arm seamer collected career-best figures of 6-43 to help his side to a thumping 126-run win and get himself to the landmark of 50 ODI wickets.

Afghanistan’s maiden World Cup appearance in 2015 saw them collect a historic win over Scotland. Naib’s task will be to ensure that even bigger scalps are to be had this summer.
