3 players with an outside chance of making India's World Cup squad
As the Indian team gets set to tour England for the ODI and T20I series, the selectors will be watching all the players and keeping track of their performances, to plan the squad for the 2019 WC.
There have been some spellbinding performances in the ongoing Indian Premier League, with a select few players rewarded for their displays with national call-ups. In order to cement their place in the World Cup squad for next year, the England tour will be used as a marker that will determine whether or not their performances truly earned them a place in the Indian team.
Here we take a look at three players who are outside bets at making the national team squad for next year's World Cup.
#3 Ambati Rayudu
Ambati Rayudu has been in sensational form of late and has been rewarded with a national team call-up. Rayudu has been in stellar form in the IPL for Chennai Super Kings and will be heading to the upcoming tour of England bursting with confidence.
Rayudu needs to put in some amazing displays to stake his claim for a spot in next year's World Cup team. A middle-order batsman, he can change the course of a game with his destructive hitting ability whilst at the same time add stability to the innings.
Rayudu has appeared in 34 ODIs for India, scoring more than 1000 runs.
