With less than two months to the biggest cricket extravaganza, the International Cricket Council asked fans all over the world to name their best players for 'World Cup XI.' (In pics: World Cup trophy goes for a dive with sharks | Trophy goes sky diving )
The ICC database consists of over 100 of the greatest World Cup players of all-time. A photo and a short Pen Profile that describes their World Cup record and their memorable impact at the event is available for each player. The ICC also lists detailed World Cup statistics for each of the players.
The players fall under four different categories - batsmen, bowlers, all-rounders, and wicketkeepers. Each XI you choose should feature at least two batsmen, one all-rounder, one wicketkeeper, and two bowlers.
Several cricketing legends across the world will also pick the greats they think should make the Greatest XI, and these will be shared on the ICC website. �
Matthew Hayden, the former Australian opener, was the first one to do so. His pick includes four Australians - Adam Gilchrist, Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Ricky Ponting, who is also the captain of the side.� � � �
Teams can be made on the ICC's official website.
