Bhogle believes Sam Billings can bat accordingly to the match situations. Billings can bat anywhere in the batting line-up and can also provide the finishing touches to the England team. Furthermore, Billings is a fantastic fielder.

Harsha Bhogle has also picked Tom Curran in his World Cup team. Curran has impressed in the ongoing Big Bash League and he can also provide the valuable runs while batting down the order.

Meanwhile, Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid will be England’s two spinners. England is going to have potent all-rounders like Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Ben Stokes and David Willey in their squad.

England is the number one ODI side in the ICC Rankings and would like to be at the top of their game in the World Cup.
