Cricket World Cup 2015: 10 Dark Horses To Look Out For

4. Yasir Shah

Age: 28 Team: Pakistan Who: Pakistani leg-spinning dynamo A leg-spinner who made his first-class debut at the tender age of 15, Yasir Shah shot to prominence back in October during Pakistan's Test series with Australia in the UAE. With Saeed Ajmal banned from bowling by the ICC due to an illegal action, the door opened for Shah and he is determined to not let it close. A novice when it comes to ODI cricket - Shah has only played two matches at this level - Shah should enjoy the bounce and extra pace of Australian conditions that suited so well his hero Shane Warne; a player whom Shah grew up studying videos of. While his tournament hasn't gotten off to the best of starts - eight overs 0-60 versus India and relegated to twelfth-man for the defeat to West Indies - Shah should come into his own in upcoming matches at Adelaide and Brisbane.
