World Cup draft, a player from each WC must be picked

He outdoes Warne on basically every metric in overall career stats though. Much like how Warne does him in tests.
Since this comparison was raised, I couldn't help comparing the big 3 against India, the best player of spin during their careers:

SpanMatInnsOversMdnsRunsWktsBBIAveEconSR45
Saqlain Mushtaqv India1996-20003634307.2141390575/4524.384.5232.321
Muttiah Muralitharanv India1993-20116359549.3282352747/3031.784.2844.501
Shane Warnev India1994-20011818162.22844153/3856.265.1964.900

Saqlain comfortably the best at picking wickets with SR of 32. Murali most economical. Must explain why Indian fans rate Saqlain as highly as they do.

QUESTION:

Do players have to appear in a WC, or just be selected? Vettori, for example, was selected in 99, but didn't play any matches. Could Michaelf7 also have him as a 1999 selection?
