Taking the first letter of each country name in the sequence: West Indies (W), West Indies (W), India (I), Australia (A) → W, W, I, A. This matches the given letters A, H, A, L in reverse or mapped pattern. Continuing this pattern, the next country that would logically fit could start with U, such as Uganda (though not a major cricket nation). The pattern may also relate to specific tournament sequences. Option B (U) is the correct continuation.
