2019 Cricket World Cup squads

Chris Gayle, of the West Indies, was selected to play in his fifth Cricket World Cup.[1]

This is a list of the squads picked for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[2] All 10 teams were required to submit a 15-member squad by 23 April, 2019[3] with changes to the squad allowed to be made up to 22 May.[4] New Zealand were the first team to name their squad, naming their team on 3 April 2019.[5] The West Indies were the last team to name their squad, announcing their team on 24 April 2019, one day after the initial deadline set by the International Cricket Council (ICC).[6]

Two cricketers, New Zealand's Tom Blundell and Bangladesh's Abu Jayed, had not played in a One Day International (ODI) prior to being named in their team's squad.[7][8] On 13 May 2019, Jayed made his ODI debut against the West Indies, in the fifth match of the tri-series in Ireland.[9] Three captains, England's Eoin Morgan, the West Indies' Jason Holder and Bangladesh's Mashrafe Mortaza, had led their respective teams in the previous tournament.[10]
