What major players bigwigs wont be there for WC 2015

[AccidentallyOnPurpose]

Ive been pondering over this for a couple of days now. Whwta major/big players won't be taking part int eh 2015 WC due to age or retirement (voluntary or otherwise) or otherwise Misbah is one who come to mind, Tendulkar? (maybe for 2019 WC), Kallis maybe, Jaywardene?, Lee etc and other brilliant players from other teams without whom the game just wont be the same. Btw Afridi doesn't count as he retires/re-retired almost every other week.

Dhoni possibly?

I wish UV comes back and plays in that tourney, he's been our key ICC player.

[Bilal7]

Misbah, Younis, Malik, Afridi, Cheema and maybe even Ajmal from the Pak team.

For us, Ponting obviously. Lee. Hussey. Haddin. Watson might be done by then. Clarke a maybe. David Hussey. Harris.

Basically the whole team minus Warner lol

[IgnitedMind]

For India, Tendulkar ,Zaheer Khan for sure....

There is a possibility for Sehwag ,Dhoni and Yuvi to leave....Sehwag will be 38, dhoni and Yuvi will be 35!!!

Other teams....Ponting, Lee, Kallis, sangakkara and jaya( both will be 38 by then) , May be Afridi,

I doubt Watson would have been made captain if his fitness didn't suggest he would be part of the WC 2015.

I would bet on Warner being captain in 2015

[Anfield]

Watson isn't the captain, Clarke is.

Aus- Ponting (who already has retired), Hussey brothers, Haddin, Harris, MJ (maybe?)
SAF- Kallis, Smith(?), Boucher, Albie Morkel (?) Imran Tahr (LOL)
Pak- Misbah, Afridi, Razzaq, Cheema.
India. Tendulkar, Yuvi (who's already out), Zaheer, Harbhajan, Sehwag.

why would clarke not be playing by 2015? He would be only 34 in 2015.

[Lachrymose]

It would be sad if Ajmal is not there

I think some feel he will be a test specialist by then. He has battled a chronic back problem his whole career.

From what I've heard about Australian cricket, and correct me if I'm wrong, they want to copy England's strategy of having different captains for each format, that coupled with the fact that most experts don't rate Clarke as a LOI captain is why I think Watson might continue as captain...maybe till the WC.

38 is the new 28 these days especially the western teams. If a player is even at 38 or 39 and is in good form they might be played
