6) Shahid Afridi (Pakistan)
Pakistan's thunderous all-rounder does some serious damage with his spin as he does with his bat. Providing breakthroughs at crucial stage of game is amongst his specialties.
He has two googlies, a conventional offie and a lethal faster one. All come with the threat of considerable, late drift. He fairly hustles through overs, which in limited-over formats is a weapon in itself and the package is dangerous.
He didn't enjoy much with the ball in past one year after having picked 16 wickets in 15 ODIs. However in 20 World Cup matches he scalpted 28 wickets at an economy of 4.32.
7) Mohammad Hafeez (Pakistan)
The no. 2 all-rounder in the World, Mohammad Hafeez has been included in Pakistan squad but could only be able to bowl if he clears his action.
He doesn't flight his offbreaks much, but his excellent control over line and length allows the captain to use him at almost any stage of an innings. He is also one of the better fielders in the Pakistan team, especially in the point region.
He won incredible ten Man-of-the-Match awards in international cricket during 2010-11, and became only the third cricketer - after Sanath Jayasuriya and Jacques Kallis - to score 1000-plus runs and take 30 or more wickets in ODIs in a calendar year.
He was not able to bowl for almost half a year in 2014 due to his suspect action but in 153 ODIs he has taken 122 wickets at an economy of 4.06.
8) Yasir Shah (Pakistan)
Pakistan leg spinner Yasir Shah is determined to make an impact at World Cup in Australia and New Zealand having been inspired by the great Shane Warne.
He is confident of playing well in Australia, where he says the extra bounce in the pitches will help him a lot.
He played only one ODI against Zimbabwe in September 2011 with 2 wickets but he made a big impact when he returned to the national squad for tests against Australia and New Zealand recently in the UAE, taking 27 wickets.
In Pakistan's first encounter against India, Yasir says he will try to get the wicket of Virat Kohli as soon as possible.
