Skippers who will lead Twenty20 World Cup teams

Gavin Hamilton Scotland/England

Hamilton bats left hand is a medium pacer. He has been classed as a more than ordinary allrounder and his troops will depend a lot on him to motivate them.

A free hitting middle order batsman, who will have to perform and hold the batting together. He has played for England, Scotland, Durham and Yorkshire and has enough experience to lead his team and spring a surprise or two. He is a bowler who has the ability to swing the ball both ways. Scotland are in Group D with New Zealand and South Africa.

William Porterfield Ireland

William Thomas Stuart Porterfield is a left hand bat and right arm off break bowler. He is stylish and elegant when he gets going and is a treat watch. In the limited over game he has two hundreds to his credit.

His brilliant 85 in the World Cup in the Caribbean enabled Ireland to surprise the Bangladeshis.

He treasures this knock as his most memorable. Gloucestershire the English county side saw potential in him and he has been signed to play for them.

Ireland are in Group A with India and Bangladesh

Daniel VettorI New Zealand

Taking over from Stephen Flemming,Vettori has carried on the good work and done his best to see that New Zealand cricket continues to develop and progress. Vettori who can be tagged an allrounder is following in the steps of Sir Richard Hadlee who can be classed as the best allrounder cricketer that the Kiwiland has produced.

Sir Richard Hadlee and Chris Cairns have taken 200 wickets and scored over 2000 runs and Vettori is in that exalted company. A clever and tantalizing left arm spinner, he has baffled the best of batsmen with his wily tweakers. As a batsman he has not lived up to the promise, but has obliged when the need arose. He has two centuries under his belt. He is a safe fielder.

Whenever Fleming was unavailable and Vettori was called upon to lead he obliged and has led the Kiwis to memorable victories.

How he will lead in the Twenty20 Tourney would be interesting to watch.

New Zealand are in Group D with South Africa and New Zealand
