Cricket World Cup 2019: Lockie Ferguson, Kane Williamson selected in team of the tournament

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson and standout quick Lockie Ferguson have made the ICC's World Cup Team of the Tournament.

Champions England were the most represented with four players in the team announced on Tuesday (NZT), with Williamson captaining the side.

Australian spearhead Mitchell Starc was comfortably the best bowler of the tournament with 27 wickets at 18.79 average, while Alex Carey was a revelation behind the stumps and a regular contributor with the bat.

England opener Jason Roy pipped David Warner in the most contentious selection.

Roy's superior strike rate (115.36 to 89.36) appeared to give him the nod, despite Warner's massive numbers.

The controversial Australian left-hander made 647 runs at 71.88, while Roy scored 443 at 63.28.

India's Rohit Sharma, who top-scored with 648 runs at an average of 81, was the other opener, and was included alongside teammate and quick bowler Jasprit Bumrah.

Middle-order batsman Joe Root, all-rounder Ben Stokes and paceman Jofra Archer were the other England players to make the team, after Monday morning's (NZT) victory over the Blackcaps in a thrilling final, where the hosts prevailed on boundary count after a tied 'super over'.

Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan was also part of the line-up for his stellar all-round contribution, which included 606 runs and 11 wickets.

Blackcaps bowler Trent Boult was named 12th man. 

The side was picked by ex-internationals Ian Bishop, Ian Smith and Isa Guha, along with cricket writer Lawrence Booth, while ICC cricket general manager Geoff Allardice was the fifth member and convener of the committee.
