ODI career: Played 114, Average 36.1, Highest Score 154.
Resurgent not just in Test cricket but also in the 50-over format where his average over the past year is nearly 60 with at a strike rate of 90.14. Confidence as a captain sure to be high following Ashes victory in Australia and now has the best chance of any England skipper since Graham Gooch in 1991 to lift the World Cup for the first time.

ODI career: Played 84, Average 36.23, Highest Score 126, Wickets 6, Bowl Avg 14.67.
Will be hoping to replicate his test form in the one-day format and had a good start down under, scoring an unbeaten 124 off 102 balls against a Prime Minister's XI. However, he followed that with a disappointing 23 at the MCG in the opening one-day international defeat to Australia last weekend. Had a free-scoring one day season with Warwickshire last year and brings a new range of attacking strokes. Photograph: Scott Barbour/Getty Images
ODI career: Played 105, Average 42.63, Highest Score 116, Wickets 6, Bowl Avg 41.0.
England's main man had to take a back seat as his form suffered in 2010 but returned to something like his old self during the Ashes series. Still boasts the highest one-day average among England's top order and was the leading light in the World Twenty20 triumph last year. Certain to face plenty of left arm spin on the subcontinent.

ODI career: Played 56, Average 40.13, Highest Score 115.
The key man in the middle order: a finisher, a surgical dissector of the field and a brilliant manipulator of the spinner in the dreaded middle overs. Low slow pitches will suit his game. Has played some of the finest England short format innings ever seen over the last two years. Photograph: Clive Rose/Getty Images
ODI career: Played 189, Average 36.07, Highest Score 120, Wickets 106, Bowl Avg 38.63.
England's most experienced player in the 50 over format, the Durham-born batsman retired from Test cricket following a disappointing Ashes series with the bat and was recently dropped for the first one-day international in Melbourne. Barring a run-heavy comeback in the current series may well travel as a squad player, although his bowling will suit conditions and his fielding remains sublime.

ODI career: Played 34, Average 25.64, Highest Score 80, Wickets 40, Bowl Avg 38.85.
The all rounder made a positive impact on the fourth and fifth Ashes Tests and continues to defy expectations with bat and ball. A revelation in Twenty20 internationals but despite making his ODI debut in 2006 has yet to make any real inroads in this form of the game. Reverse swing could be an asset.

ODI career: Played 73, Average 12.83, Highest Score 45*, Wickets 124, Bowl Avg 25.70.
Broad will play no part in the one-day series against Australia following the abdominal injury he picked up in Adelaide and is a doubt for England's opening World Cup match against the Netherlands. However, he should be fit for the latter stages, and will form a vital part of the England attack. Expert variations and England's current "death" bowler. Photograph: Philip Brown/Reuters
ODI career: Played 20, Average 16.27, Highest Score 57, Wickets 14, Bowl Avg 47.71.
Part of the victorious World Twenty20 team last year, the Sussex captain will be hoping to follow that up with similar success in the 50 over format but has a battle on to get in the side. Will form a key partnership with Swann with England certain to play two spinners. Bats in the top six for Sussex but his international form has been surprisingly limp.

ODI career: Played 44, Average 12.46, Highest Score 34, Wickets 60, Bowl Avg 24.63.
The offspinner reached a career best of number three in the ICC one-day international rankings last year and England will be looking to him to take the wickets necessary for a successful World Cup. Will he be leading another sprinkler celebration in Mumbai on 2 April? Photograph: Mike Hewitt/Getty Images
ODI career: Played 133, Average 5.89, Highest Score 15, Wickets 179, Bowl Avg 30.33.
The hero of the Test series down under will be under pressure to deliver similar results on the subcontinent. He has been rested for the first three one-day internationals in Australia in preparation for the showpiece event next month. A master of new ball swing, although has struggled with the white ball in the last two years. Photograph: Stu Forster/Getty Images
ODI career: Played 12, Average 45.5, Highest Score 110, Wickets 0, Bowl Avg -.
Made the most of his opportunity in the one-day side following injuries to Kevin Pietersen and Ian Bell in 2010, scoring impressively, and hasn't looked back to become a mainstay in the squad. Perhaps a little one-paced at the top of the order. Will compete with Collingwood and Bell for a place in the XI. Photograph: Mark Nolan/Getty Images
ODI career: Played 5, Average 14, Highest Score 9*, Wickets 9, Bowl Avg 22.44.
Impressive pace, aggression and slippery reverse swing on the current tour of Australia, and has shown he can hit a long ball as a feisty lower order batsman. Could do with adding an outswinger to his repertoire, but appears to be improving all the time. Photograph: William West/AFP/Getty Images
ODI career: Played 2, Average -, Highest Score 2*, Wickets 0, Bowl Avg -.
Made his debut against Bangladesh in March 2010 as a replacement for the injured Ryan Sidebottom. Also part of the one-day squad tour of New Zealand two years prior to his debut but was not given the chance to play. Has been in and around various England squads since 2007 - but yet to take an international wicket. Photograph: Stu Forster/Getty Images
ODI career: Played 42, Average 21.43, Highest Score 52, Wickets 15, Bowl Avg 51.27.
A return to the bits-and-peices tradition of the semi-batting semi-bowling allrounder. Made a half-century off 39 balls on his debut against India but has failed to progress with the bat and now rarely bowls. England have invested much in his talent and patience will be running thin.

ODI career: Played 55, Average 25.38, Highest Score 87, Catches 60, Stumpings 4.
Prior is England’s undisputed number one wicketkeeper at Test level, but seemed to have dropped out of favour in the shorter formats in recent years as Craig Kieswetter and Steven Davies became favoured. But Prior’s form with the bat during the Ashes will have played a key part - in Sydney he scored the quickest Ashes century since Ian Botham in 1981. During his ODI career Prior has often opened the batting but has not kicked on to make big match-winning scores Photograph: Aijaz Rahi/AP
