England have over the years boasted quite an array of fast bowlers who have delivered from them almost always at home and away as well, most of the time. One name on this list is Chris Woakes, who is more of an all-rounder who isn't always mentioned in the same breath as some of his more famous fast bowling colleagues. Nevertheless, Chris Woakes has been in the thick of things in World Cup 2019 and may well be one of the key players for England in the long run. He has been given the responsibility of opening the bowling along with Jofra Archer and has accounted for himself quite well in World Cup 2019 so far.
