Now, there are five cricket boards who have announced their World Cup squads. Hot on the heels of Australia, New Zealand, India and Bangladesh, the preliminary England Cricket World Cup Squad has been announced. The England cricket World Cup squad announcement threw up a few surprises for the fans. As it turns out, the preliminary England cricket World Cup squad does not include the likes of Jofra Archer [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jofra-archer/]. Even Chris Jordan [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Jordan_(cricketer)] missed out on a berth for the England Cricket World Cup Squad as did Sam Billings. Fortunately for them, they have a chance to prove their mettle when England take on Pakistan in a 5-match ODI series. That very series will end on 19th May, a few days before the ICC deadline ends. England Cricket National Selector Ed Smith revealed, “In line with ICC regulations, we have to name a preliminary squad of 15 for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup before April 23. However, all 17 players named in the Royal London ODIs against Pakistan can stake a claim to be in the final 15-man squad, finalised at the end of that series.” He continued, “The selection panel has been impressed with Jofra Archer’s performances in domestic and franchise cricket. He is a very talented and exciting cricketer.” [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/106478424_jofra_archer_getty.jpg]Jofra Archer missed out on a berth in the England Cricket World Cup Squad “Chris Jordan, a regular in IT20 squads over the past few years, has continued to develop as a cricketer – as we saw in the IT20s in the West Indies. He fully deserves his return to the ODI squad.” Finally, he spoke on the subject of resting some England cricket players, he concluded, “With regard to resting players, we are conscious of managing player workloads leading into such an important summer so that players are in the best possible condition for the World Cup. That was also a factor in the way we have selected these three squads.” England cricket World Cup Squad 2019: Eoin Morgan, Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jos-buttler/], Tom Curran, Joe Denly, Alex Hales, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ben-stokes/], David Willey, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood. [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Chris-Jordan-celeb_3149532.jpg]Chris Jordan was another missing name in the England Cricket World Cup Squad 

The England Cricket World Cup Squad for the upcoming World Cup 2019 has been
announced, though it is just a preliminary squad and there is time to tweak it

<strong>Ben Stokes Biography</strong>

England player Ben Stokes made his official England debut in 2011 for the ODI and T20 teams. Then, two years later, he made his Test debut.

Although he is an excellent player, he has been the subject of controversy. In 2017, he was involved in a bar brawl and was then taken to court. As a result, Stokes' name was withdrawn from the provisional Ashes squad against Australia.

He was embroiled in a few other controversies in his career.

<strong>IPL Career</strong>

Admittedly, Ben Stokes' IPL career is not as long and pronounced as most of the other players. His debut only came in 2017 with the now defunct Rising Pune Supergiant.?Ben Stokes batting record consists of a maiden century against fellow debutant team, Gujarat Lions.

He also won the Man of the Match award three times in 14 games. Unfortunately, Ben Stokes' IPL stint was cut short as he had to leave for national duty. However, within that short stint,?Ben Stokes' batting has been fairly decent.

In 2018, he was roped in by the Rajasthan Royals for an astounding Rs 12.5 crores. This made him the most expensive foreign player in IPL. Prior to that, he was bought by Rising Pune Supergiant for Rs 14.5 crores. He made it worth Pune's while by smashing a high score of 103* and he boasts of a strike rate of 138.42.

In the bowling department, Stokes has notched up a total on 24 wickets in three years. Half of those scalps came during the 2017 season with the Rising Pune Supergiant

<strong>Expectations for IPL 2019</strong>

This year, Ben Stokes' IPL 2019 career resumes with the Rajasthan Royals. He will be hoping to have a good campaign this season. The Royals are a fairly strong team and when Stokes is on form, he can be devastating.

"It was like facing 90mph leg-breaks," Paul Collingwood said after <strong>Christopher Roger</strong> <strong>Woakes </strong>(or Chris Woakes) claimed his career best figures of 9/35 against Durham in 2016.

Chris Woakes was born in Birmingham on 2 March 1989 and lives there with his family.

Woakes, a right-arm medium fast bowler, is also a handy lower order batsman. He is amongst the 10 players in World Cricket to have registered their name on the Lord?s honours board for both batting and bowling.

Woakes made his first-class debut at the age of 17 and by the time he was 20, the fast bowler was topping the charts for bowling stats. But he had to wait to reach to the top at international level.

He was expected to lead England?s bowling attack in the ICC Champions Trophy, but had to pull off within the first two overs due to injury. He, however has played an important role in England?s triumph in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

He plays county cricket for Warwickshire. In IPL, Woakes played for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 2017 season before playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) under Virat Kohli.

Walking in to bat for the first time in international cricket at the age of 22, <strong>Joseph Edward Root</strong> or Joe Root had already showed signs of becoming a future great. Root was also very quickly tagged as the future captain of the national team. He rose among the ranks to become one of the best batsmen of his generation and was handed England captaincy at the age of 26 when Alastair Cook stepped down.

Joe Root was the 2014 Wisden Cricketer of the Year, and his records speak for himself.

Hailing from a family of rich cricketing background, Root has attracted cricket scholarships right from his school days. Though Root started his career as a right-handed opening batsman, he played most of his cricket for England in the middle order.

Along with Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson and Steve Smith, Joe root is believed to complete the quartet of the greatest batsmen of the generation. Be it number of centuries or batting average, all the four are never far away in terms of stats.

Among the power hitters in the England limited overs side, Root might seem like a misfit with his grace and elegance, but he is one of the most important members of the team. He has maintained a decent strike rate playing the role of holding one end up while others go hard around him.

<strong>Jofra Archer Biography</strong>

Jofra Archer initially hails from Barbados but was living in England since he was 18. According to the earlier rules, he was ineligible to play for England until at least 2022. In other words, he needed to live in England for at least 7 years before applying for the England team.

But then, the rules were later changed to being a resident for 3 years. Archer has never played for a national team apart from the?West Indies Under-19s in 2014.

He made his cricketing debut in 2016 for Sussex and has milled around several domestic teams since.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"></sup>

<strong>IPL Career</strong>

Jofra Archer's IPL career kicked off in 2018. He?had been purchased by the?Rajasthan Royals during that year's IPL auction. Later, Jofra Archer's career in the cash-rich league took off against the?Mumbai Indians. That day, Jofra Archer's record was three wickets on debut and player of the match as a bonus.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"></sup>

Jofra Archer's stats are quite impressive and he is quick fast, at speeds of 150 kph. While Jofra Archer's batting record is nothing to write home about, Jofra Archer's bowling speed more than makes up for it.

<strong>IPL 2019 Expectations</strong>

Jofra Archer's IPL 2019 season will be one to closely monitor. This is because a good performance this IPL brings him a step closer to the England World Cup squad.

Given that Jofra Archer is now eligible to play for the national team, it is crunch time. His 150 kph whizzers will surely come in handy for the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2019. In Archer's maiden IPL season, h came out with a grand total of 15 wickets. Considering that he was utilised in slog overs, his economy was extremely good.

<strong>Jonathan Marc Bairstow</strong> (or Jonny Bairstow) could have chosen Rugby or Football for a professional career, but chose to become a cricketer. Bairstow hails from a rich cricketing background, with his father, David Bairstow being a wicket-keeper himself and former England cricketer Geoffrey Boycott being a family friend of the Bairstows.

[caption id="attachment_165155" align="aligncenter" width="800"]<img class="size-full wp-image-165155" src="http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/dc-Cover-6t1qv6d1rpbp1viceesb6ng2l7-20180829135543.Medi_.jpeg" alt="Jonny Bairstow" width="800" height="448" /> Jonny Bairstow[/caption]

Born on September 26 1989 in Bradford, Bairstow first played County cricket for Yorkshire before making his international debut in 2011 in a T20 game against West Indies. He broke into the One Day side in the same year and a year later, made his Test debut.

The year 2016 could be named as the year of Bairstow. In 2016, Bairstow set a new record for the most dismissals (70) by a wicket-keeper in a calendar year. In the same year, Bairstow also set a record for most runs in Test matches by a wicket-keeper in a single year. By scoring 1,470 runs in Tests in the year, Bairstow almost doubled the previous record of 777 for England wicket-keepers set by?Matt Prior?in 2012, and comprehensively surpassed the former record for any Test country of 1,045 runs, held by former Zimbabwe wicket-keeper?Andy Flower.

<strong>Liam Edward Plunkett</strong> (born 6 April 1985) is an English cricketer born on 6 April 1985. He is known for his right-arm fast bowling for the England Cricket team. Plunkett?s height of 6 ft 3 in (191 cm) may be on par with many fast bowlers in the country, but his ability to bowl the occasional unplayable ball at good speed caught the eye of the selectors. He was first picked to play for England in 2005 when he was the leading wicket taker in first class cricket playing for Durham in English County Cricket. His dip in form later saw him move to Yorkshire, where he rediscovered himself under Jason Gillespie.

Inconsistency kept him in and out of the squad. Though he is known for his bowling, he forced an incredible tie with the bat in a match against Sri Lanka in 2016. Since the rejuvenation of England?s white ball cricket, Plunkett, with his cross-seam variations, became an integral member of their One Day side. Though his place was under the scanner after Jofra Archer?s arrival, he bowled a match defining spell in the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

In IPL, Plunkett played for Delhi Daredevils in 2018 in absence of Kagiso Rabada. He didn?t trouble the stats people much though as he played only seven matches in his IPL career.

Liam Plunkett is also a selfless individual. In 2007, he offered a Kidney to his ailing father which could have ended his cricket career.
