The left-arm spinner from Jamaica is an exuberant cricketer who can bowl economically in the middle-overs. Fabian Allen is a decent lower order batsman, as he has an average of 20 in List-A career. Till now he has played 4 ODIs for the island nation but has remained wicketless in all the games. The selectors have picked Allen as their back-up spinner, and it will be a great opportunity for the youngster to play in a World Cup.

Allen’s selection in the squad can be a huge mistake as there were other tweakers who were experienced than him. He bowls tight lines, but his bowling lacks penetration which is clear from his List-A record where he has picked just 6 wickets in 13 games. Even with a bat in his hand, he has not played a single cameo down the order, and his strike rate is 48 in ODIs. Windies have opted for Nurse as their premier spinner but if he fails the record of Allen is not worthy enough to include him in the playing XI.
