# Kevin Pietersen

A somewhat surprise take in this list, but with him in the team England could have stepped in being more confident of their batting lineup. His big bash league bashings speak for themselves, his rile with the board and some hitherto comments made his position difficult making him level the side.

# Ajantha Mendis

His mystery “carom ball” might be no lethal now, but the ability to bowl economically in the middle over’s restricts the batsmen on the back foot.

The Srilankan side is banking with Senanyake and Herath to finish the spin armory, but Mendis with Herath would have made a lethal combination.

# James Neesham

A contrastive option the New Zealand needs someone to balance the side on both ends of knife, James Neesham with his seam and stroke can aid the team.

He is not the player who lacks potential and was dropped for others to make in, but the county performances of Grant Elliot cost Neesham badly unable to get going for the team in the world cup.
