Gotta feel sad for West Indies!!
West Indies have played some of the most brilliant cricket in this World Cup, but have also a whole lot of rubbish!

Young and talented Ikram Ali Khil!!
Always loved watching Rahmat Shah. Touch of class about him. But how good has young Ikram Ali Khil been! Got a chance to bat at no 3 and said thank you I'll take it!
