Former South Africa fast bowler has backed England to win the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2019to be hosted by England and Wales. England are currently the number one ranked ODI team ahead of India and pace legend feels that England have a huge chance to win the coveted trophy, something they have never done. The English have been runners-up three times but have never stood on winners' podium. "If ever they have a chance to win one, it's definitely now," Donald was quoted as saying by Sky Sports News on the sidelines of an event to mark a year before the start of CWC 2019. 

Donald praised the "aggressive" brand of cricket being displayed by England under the leadership of Eoin Morgan.

"The way they take on one-day internationals now it's a different England from the one I've seen. I'll be honest, given what I faced back in the day, I wouldn't have thought they could get to this point. But there's something about them that I like," he said.

Donald, however, was cautious about South Africa's chances, more so after the recent retirement of their star batsman AB de Villiers.

"Well, we just lost one of our biggest assets in AB de Villiers," he said.
