Champions England were the most represented with four players in the World Cup Team of the Tournament announced by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday, with New Zealand's Kane Williamson captaining the side.

Jason Roy, Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer made the team following Sunday's victory over the Black Caps in a thrilling final where the hosts prevailed on boundary count after a tied Super Over.

New Zealand's Lockie Ferguson was the only other Kiwi in the side, while Australian pace bowler Mitchell Starc was picked after taking the most wickets in the tournament with 27.
