London: Fast bowler Mitchell Starc and wicketkeeper Alex Carey made the ICC's World Cup team of the tournament – but there was no room for fellow Australian David Warner despite him finishing as second highest run-scorer
Champions England were the most represented with four players in the team announced on Monday, with New Zealand's Kane Williamson captaining the side.
Starc was comfortably the best bowler of the tournament with 27 wickets at 18.79, while Carey was a revelation behind the stumps and a regular contributor with the bat.
England opener Jason Roy appears to have pipped Warner based on a superior strike rate (115.36 to 89.36) because the Australian made 647 runs at 71.88 compared to 443 at 63.28.

New Zealand's Lockie Ferguson was the only other Kiwi in the side.
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
