Elton Chigumbura
Zimbabwe
Ashish Bagai Canada
Ashish Bagai is Canada's captain, wicketkeeper and most consistent top-order batsman. Diminutive and light on his feet, Bagai remains a safe glove-man, but persistent knee trouble has slowed his running between the wickets. In a full-strength team, Bagai plays the role of anchor, rotating the strike and steadily accumulating his runs. An orthodox batsman, Bagai will nudge and nurdle his way out of a box rather than go for the big hit. A veteran of two previous World Cup campaigns, this will be his first time leading Canada on cricket's biggest stage and in no less than the country of his birth.
Elton Chigumbura
Zimbabwe
Elton Chigumbura allrounder with the talent to alter the course of an innings with both bat and ball, Elton Chigumbura has not taken as naturally to the captaincy of the national side as many might have hoped. The weight of responsibility and niggling injuries appeared to sap the zip from his bowling and the adventure from his batting, and he has averaged 22 with the bat and 129 with the ball since taking the helm. Chigumbura's potential is undoubted, however, and Zimbabwe will need him to get back to his electric best if they are to challenge the top teams at the World Cup.
