The left-arm spinner is one of the most talented slow bowlers in Associate cricket and Ireland may have to make the most of him while he's there's because England could well come looking. Dockrell has already been snapped up by Somerset and his international performances to date show a maturity far beyond his years. At the World Twenty20 in the Caribbean he excelled against West Indies and England with his immaculate control
Strengths
His control of line and length has been the stand-out feature but he also possess a good cricket brain, which is important for a spin bowler
Key stats

This is Dockrell's first World Cup.
Expert view
"George announced himself at the T20 World Cup where his bowling belied his lack of years. He has since signed for Somerset CCC and will no doubt be one to watch in the sub-continent. His subtle changes of pace and length ensures he is hard to score off, and he will prove to be a key bowler through the middle overs."- Kyle McCallan, former ireland allrounder
