Anyone with half an interest in cricket will have heard of the likes of Ab de Villiers, Chris Gayle and Kumar Sangakkara. In the early stages of the 2015 competition, household names such as Shikhar Dhawan, Aaron Finch and Tim Southee have unsurprisingly already made the headlines.
However, with associate nations Scotland, Ireland, Afghanistan and United Arab Emirates lining up alongside the ever changing squads such as those of Pakistan and the West Indies, there is a whole host of players in the current tournament that even the most dedicated of cricket watchers won’t be clued up on.
