Chris Tremlett

England

Full name: Christopher Timothy Tremlett

Born: September 2, 1981, Southampton, Hampshire

Major teams: England, ECB National Academy, England Lions, Hampshire, Hampshire Cricket Board, Surrey

Nickname: Twiggy

Playing role: Bowler

Batting style: Right-hand bat

Height: 6 ft 7 in

Education: Taunton's College, Southampton

Relation: Grandfather - MF Tremlett, Father - TM Tremlett

Test debut: England v India at Lord's, Jul 19-23, 2007

ODI debut: England v Bangladesh at Nottingham, Jun 21, 2005

Chris Tremlett, a strapping fast bowler at 6ft 7ins, comes from an esteemed cricketing family. He is the son of Tim Tremlett, the former Hampshire seamer, and the grandson of Maurice, who played for Somerset and England in the 1940s and 50s. However, Tremlett junior hasn't needed any family favours in his progression. On his first-class debut against New Zealand A in 2000, he took a wicket with his first ball and ended up with 4 for 16. After impressing for Hampshire in both the four-day and the one-day game, he made the England Under-19 tour of India in 2000-01, and then earned a place in the first batch of Rod Marsh's academy intakes in 2001-02.

Full name:Kumar Chokshanada Sangakkara

Born:October 27, 1977, Matale

Major teams: Sri Lanka, Asia XI, Central Province, Colombo District Cricket Association, Deccan Chargers, ICC World XI, Kandurata, Kings XI Punjab, Marylebone Cricket Club, Nondescripts Cricket Club, Warwickshire

Playing role: Wicketkeeper batsman

Batting style: Left-hand bat

Bowling style: Right-arm offbreak

Fielding position: Wicketkeeper

As soon as he broke into the side at the age of 22, while a law student,
it was apparent that Kumar Sangakkara was destined for more than just
batting stardom. The left-handers that had preceded him, like Arjuna
Ranatunga and Asanka Gurusinha, had been pugnacious battlers but
Sangakkara was cut from more graceful cloth, easing into strokes with
the elegance often associated with those that play with the 'other'
hand. The cut and the pull came naturally to him and with growing
confidence, he became a more assured front-foot player as well.

Shahid Afridi

Full name:Sahibzada Mohammad Shahid Khan Afridi

Born: March 1, 1980

Major teams: Pakistan, Asia XI, Deccan Chargers, Fly Emirates XI, Griqualand West, Habib Bank Limited, ICC World XI, Karachi, Leicestershire, South Australia

Playing role: Allrounder

Batting style: Right-hand bat

Bowling style: Legbreak googly
Relation:
Brother Tariq Afridi,
Brother -Ashfaq Afridi

For a start, the slant of his all-round skills only became clear ten
years into his career; he is a leg-spinning allrounder. Variety is his
calling and as well as a traditional leg-break, he has two googlies, a
conventional offie and a lethal faster one, though this is increasingly
rare. All come with the threat of considerable, late drift. He fairly
hustles through overs, which in limited-over formats is a weapon in
itself and the package is dangerous.

Full name: Daniel Luca Vettori

Born: January 27, 1979, Auckland

Major teams: New Zealand, Delhi Daredevils, ICC World XI, Northern Districts, Nottinghamshire, Queensland, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Warwickshire

Playing role: Allrounder

Batting style: Left-hand bat

Bowling style: Slow left-arm orthodox

Relation: Uncle - AJ Hill, Cousin - JV Hill

Daniel Vettori has been on the international scene so long it is sometimes hard to believe he has only recently crossed into his thirties. The youngest man to play Test cricket for New Zealand, at the age of 18, he is one of only eight players to have managed the double of 300 Test wickets and 3000 runs. With time on his side, he could one day creep up towards Hadlee's 431 Test dismissals, but to do that Vettori would need to avoid the stress fractures in his back that troubled him earlier in his career. He also cannot afford another form slump like the one he suffered in 2003-04.

Bangladesh

Full name: Shakib Al Hasan

Born: March 24, 1987, Magura, Jessore

Major teams: Bangladesh, Bangladesh A, Bangladesh Cricket Board XI, Khulna Division, Kolkata Knight Riders, Worcestershire

Also known as: Saqibul Hasan

Playing role: Allrounder

Batting style: Left-hand bat

Bowling style: Slow left-arm orthodox
Shakib Al Hasan is a left-arm spinner and talented batsman, who ensured his place in the Bangladesh squad for the U-19 World Cup in Sri Lanka with a blistering performance in the final of the tri-nations U-19 ODI tournament in Bangladesh. Firstly, he took 3 for 39 in the Sri Lankan innings and then scored 100 to guide Bangladesh to victory. Although primarily selected for his bowling, he has shown great potential with the bat. As well as the century, he has scored two half-centuries and has an Afridi-style strike rate of more than 106. Hasan made his one-day debut in the final match against Zimbabwe in July 2006. He scored an unbeaten 30 and helped steer Bangladesh to victory. Since then Hasan has proved to be an asset to his team. He scored his maiden ODI hundred, against Canada in a tri-series before the 2007 World Cup

Full name: Kyle David Mills

Born: March 15, 1979, Auckland

Major teams: New Zealand, Auckland, Kings XI Punjab, Lincolnshire, Mumbai Indians

Playing role: Bowler

Batting style: Right-hand bat

Bowling style: Right-arm fast-medium

Injuries at an inopportune time affected Kyle Mills's prospects of making a more significant start to his international career. While he was recovering, Shane Bond, Ian Butler and Jacob Oram seized their opportunities, making it harder for Mills to force his way back. In and out of the team after the 2003 World Cup in which he made only one fleeting, wicketless appearance - he marked another comeback, against Pakistan in 2003-04, by picking up a reprimand for excessive appealing. However, he did enough to earn a call-up for the tour of England in 2004, and made his Test debut in the third match at Trent Bridge. But he picked up a side strain during the game, and was forced to fly home and miss the NatWest Series. That was a shame, as one-day cricket is really his forte: he played throughout the 2005-06 season, chipping in with wickets in almost every game, even if his once-promising batting had diminished to the point that he managed double figures only once in 16 matches.
