Shakib Al Hasan

Shakib Al Hasan

The 2019 World Cup was a dream run for Shakib Al Hasan as he became the first player in the tournament's history to score over 500 runs and pick over 10 wickers in a single edition. This time Shakib will have the added responsibility of leading Bangladesh too.

Shadab Khan

At no.6 in ICC ODI rankings for the all-rounders, Shadab Khan is the Pakistan's best ranked all-rounder. The 24-year-old's leg spin coupled with ability to hit big shots lower down the order will be crucial for Pakistan's long run in the tournament.

Cameron Green has quickly become Australia's all-format player. The towering all-rounder was one of the costliest buy ahead of the 2023 season of the IPL. Along with his batting and bowling, his exceptional fielding will also be important for the Aussies.

Dunith Wellalage

Dunith Wellalage

Although,  Sri Lanka's Dunith Wellalage is primarily a slow left-arm spinner. But if his exploits against  India in the Asia Cup are anything to go by, then this 20-year-old is a star all--rounder in making.

Bas de Leede

Bas de Leede

One of the reasons for the Netherlands qualifying for the World Cup is the performance of Bas de Leede in an important qualifying match against Scotland. In that game, the all-rounder picked a five-for and followed that with a ton. That performance is enough to highlight how good of an all-rounder this 23-year-old Dutchman is.

Aiden Markram

Aiden Markram

Although Aiden Markra's first role in the South African setup will be to score big runs but he will also be expected to roll his arm over and bowl some off-breaks if the conditions are favorable for spin. Markram is ranked 4th in the ICC ODI rankings for the all-rounders and that shows his abilities with the ball and the bat.

Mitchell Santner

Mitchell Santner

Mitchell Santner will be a first-choice spinner for New Zealand captain Kane Williaosn. But Santner also has the ability to use his bat and score quick runs in the death overs. Opposing teams can take Santner's all-round skills lightly at their own risk.
