WI vs AFG Key Players

Rovman Powell

The World Cup awaits a special from Rovman Powell. He is yet to find his straps and if he does get going the West Indies will walk into the Super Eights with a lot of confidence.

Azmatullah Omarzai

Azmatullah Omarzai announced himself as a potential premier all-rounder in the last World Cup. Batting in the middle-order and getting swing with the new-ball are his strengths. His strengths are yet to convert to T20 form though and that is where he will be hoping to make a mark this season.
