This summer's Cricket World Cup is nearly here with England favourites to lift the trophy on home soil. William Hill's Ben Barrett joins Sam Norris to assess the key players in the market and put up some ante post selections for the tournament. Enjoy. 

William Hill's resident Cricket Badger, James Buttler, looks ahead to the three-match Test series between Sri Lanka and England, which gets underway in Galle on 6 November. Can England combat the spin threat of the host nation in conditions they have often struggled in during previous tours. James suggests it would be wise not to underestimate the home side, but there are places up for grabs in the England side and the likes of Rory Burns (pictured) could stake a claim for next summer's Ashes.

England travel to The Oval for the 5th and final Test of the summer. They may have already won the series against India, but now have a legend to say farewell to. Alastair Cook is the highest English run scorer of all time and he will make his 161st and last appearance for his country in the game beginning on Friday. John Gibby is joined by James Buttler to pick out the best 5th Test bets and which of an array of Cook Specials are the best to play. #ENGvIND
