JP Duminy, South Africa all-rounder, World Cup 2019 Player Full Profile: Duminy adds three-dimensional ability to Proteas side

Apart from his batting, JP Duminy can also contribute for South Africa with his off-spin and swift fielding at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

Imran Tahir, South Africa bowler, World Cup 2019 Player Full Profile: Variety makes leggie Tahir key bowler at showpiece event

Although capable of a range of wrist spinner’s deliveries, the sharpest tool in Tahir's shed is his googly — which he bowls more often than the rest, and which turns more acutely.

Aiden Markram , South Africa batsman, World Cup 2019 Player Full Profile: Time for Markram to showcase his ODI capabilities

The 2019 World Cup will be Markram's first at senior level, and there would be no better stage on which to fulfil some of his immense potential in the one-day format by finding the form that made him South Africa's leading runscorer at the under-19 event four years previously.

Lungi Ngidi, South Africa bowler, World Cup 2019 Player Full Profile: Ngidi stands tall amid Proteas' fast and furious

On England’s seaming pitches Ngidi could be a booming matchwinner, a big, bruising bowler with perhaps not quite as much talent as Kagiso Rabada but no less a threat for that.

Chris Morris, South Africa all-rounder, World Cup 2019 Player Full Profile: A complete package, Morris can make a strong impact in England

Morris brings experience and pace to South Africa’s World Cup attack, and more than a little batting ability down the order.

van der Dussen is more than a white-ball basher, having scored 15 centuries and 39 half-centuries in his 184 first-class innings.

Dale Steyn, South Africa bowler, World Cup 2019 Player Full Profile: Steyn's chance to fill World Cup-sized hole in glittering career

At six feet tall and slightly built, Steyn is not the stereotypical fast bowler compared to his peers. But he more than makes up for those apparent deficiencies with pace, aggression and a peerless away swinger.

Tabraiz Shamsi, South Africa bowler, World Cup 2019 Player Full Profile: With Impressive range of variations, Shamsi can make an impact in England

Shamsi's array bristles with an impressive range of variations, most importantly a googly that jags sharply away from right-handers.

Kagiso Rabada, South Africa bowler, World Cup 2019 Player Full Profile: Aggressive and intelligent, Rabada is a complete package Proteas are lucky to have

Rabada would seem to have it all: pace, athleticism, intelligence, aggression, and more than a touch of batting ability. If he can’t win a senior World Cup for South Africa, no-one can.
