2015 Cricket World Cup squads

The 2015 Cricket World Cup was the 11th Cricket World Cup, jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand; India were the defending champions, having won the tournament in 2011.^[2] The 2015 Cricket World Cup Final took place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and was won by Australia, who defeated New Zealand by 7 wickets in the final.^[3]

Melbourne Cricket Ground, the venue for the 2015 Cricket World Cup Final. The ground also hosted the 1992 Cricket World Cup Final.

Michael Clarke, the Australian captain. The final was his last ODI appearance.^[1]

The fourteen teams that competed at the 2015 World Cup were all required to submit a final 15-man squad to the ICC headquarters in Dubai on or before 7 January 2015, although the squads did not have to be publicly that date.^[4] In order to assist this process, many teams chose to name larger probable squads in November or December, with the understanding that the final squad would be picked from within these players. Changes to the squad were allowed after this deadline at the discretion of the ICC's Technical Committee in necessary cases, such as due to player injury, and so some teams also chose to name standby players alongside their 15-man squad.

Sri Lanka chose to name veteran players Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara in their squad- they were the two most experienced ODI players at the tournament,^[5] as Jayawardene has played over 400 ODIs for Sri Lanka, and Sangakkara played his 400th ODI during the tournament.^[6] Jayawardene was also the most experienced World Cup player at the tournament, with 33 previous appearances.^[7] UAE's Khurram Khan was the oldest player at the tournament, whilst fellow Emirati Mohammad Tauqir became the oldest ever World Cup captain; both players were 43 years old.^[a] Afghanistan's Usman Ghani was the youngest player at the tournament, at the age of 18.

Below is a list of the squads chosen for the 2015 Cricket World Cup.

George Bailey captained the side in their opening game against England,^[51] but was then dropped from the team when Clarke returned.

Bangladesh

Bangladesh announced their 15-member squad on 4 January 2015.^[84] The squad was initially scheduled to be announced at 1300 local time (UTC+06:00).

After receiving a 40% match fee fine and a warning for slow over rate,^[87] captain Mashrafe Mortaza sat out of the last Group Stage match against New Zealand, to avoid being suspended for their quarter-final with India;^[88][89] Shakib Al Hasan captained the team for this match.^[90]

India used the same 11 players for every match except against the UAE, where Bhuvneshwar Kumar played instead of Mohammed Shami,^[287] as a result, they used the fewest players (12) of any team in the tournament.
