Siddarth Kaul last played a one-day international in the Asia Cup last year (against Afghanistan) but the pacer was provided another shot to make his case for the World Cup team when he was recalled for the first two ODIs against Australia in place of Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Kaul didn't get a game in the series, but chairman of selectors MSK Prasad said that the pacer is very much in the mix for the World Cup. Kaul, who has played three ODIs (0 wickets) and T20Is (4 wickets), could probably be in the reckoning for the fourth pacer's spot after Khaleel Ahmed failed to impress in the opportunities provided to him.
