India and England are favourite to win the WC2019 :Shane Warne

Australian legend leg spinner said that England and India are the hot favorites to win the Cricket World Cup of 2019. Both the teams have been playing some phenomenal brand of cricket in recent past.

Under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, Indian team is in red-hot form. India recently beat Australia in Australia in a bilateral ODI series for the first time. India carried the winning run to New Zealand and thrashed the Black Caps 4-1 in a recently-concluded ODI series. The Asian giants ranked No. 2 in ICC ODI rankings.

Shane Warne tweeted, "As I'm putting my #worldcup squad together for my column, I really believe Aust can win it again. As we have the players for the conditions, match winners etc. I think England & India go in as hot favorites, but if the selectors play their part - then the Aussies can 100% win,"

Australia currently is not in their best of form. In the absence of David Warner and Steven Smith, they are going through a phase of transition. Warner and Smith were expected to return to international cricket during the latter stages of their tour of Pakistan in late March and early April but the latter is unlikely to get fit in time. Smith may even miss the world cup due to injury.
