South African skipper AB de Villiers believes that his team has the capability to bring home the coveted World Cup trophy for the first time.

While South Africa announced its 15-man squad for the World Cup, De Villiers said that they have got the right players to win the World Cup and it was just a matter of going there and finding a way to do so, Sport24 reported.

According to him, they do feel pressure representing South Africa in the World Cup as they haven't won one yet.

The swashbuckling skipper added that they have been playing some good cricket and they are confident going to Australia that they have a really good chance to win this World Cup, the report added.

South Africa's 15-man squad for World Cup is as follows: AB de Villiers (captain), Hashim Amla, Kyle Abbott, Farhaan Behardien, Quinton de Kock, JP Duminy, Faf du Plessis, Imran Tahir, David Miller, Morne Morkel, Wayne Parnell, Aaron Phangiso, Vernon Philander, Rilee Rossouw and Dale Steyn.
