12) Mohammad Nabi (Afghanistan)
After leading his national side in Asia Cup 2014, Mohammad Nabi will again take charge of his boys in the forthcoming World Cup.
The team failed to qualify for the 2011 World Cup, but did earn ODI status until 2013. In February 2010, the Afghan cricket team secured qualification to the 2010 ICC World Twenty20, the team's first major tournament.
Afghanistan secured their passage to Australia and New Zealand by beating Kenya comprehensively for the second time in succession in Sharjah in 2013, sealing their maiden World Cup qualification. They finished second in the World Cricket League Championship - nine wins in 14 matches - and joined Ireland as the second Associate team in the 2015 World Cup.
The Afghan skipper is handy with both bat and ball. In 43 ODIs, he scored 1060 runs with the strike rate and average of 90.67 and 33.12 respectively. He also has 41 wickets in his pocket.
Under his captaincy, Afghanistan also defeated Bangladesh, a test playing nation for the first time ever.
Afghanistan is placed in Pool A at the World Cup along with Australia, Bangladesh, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Scotland.
