The ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 will be held in England and Wales from May 30, 2019 to July 14, 2019.
The first round of the tournament will see 10 teams — England (hosts), Australia, Bangladesh, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and West Indies — play against each other. The top four teams will progress to the semifinals.
Below are the 10 teams and their full squads.

Shikhar Dhawan suffered a hairline fracture while batting in India's second match against Australia, prompting the team management to bring Rishabh Pant as cover for the left-handed opener. ( REPORT )
Mayank Agarwal was a leftfield replacement for the injured Vijay Shankar in the Indian World Cup squad. Shankar was hit on the toe by a Jasprit Bumrah yorker in the nets prior to the match against Afghanistan.
