5 players who deserve a chance in 2019 World Cup

Basil Thampi

Basil Thampi- Raw fast pace on offer

India's limited overs bowling attack looks pretty solid with Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah leading the pack. However, the addition of a young pacer might be a good gamble to take.

Basil Thampi is young and runs in fast. He is the 4th ever player from the state of Kerala to put on the Indian jersey. He is quick off the wicket, which might suit overseas conditions well. If he is drafted into the squad soon, the coaching staff could spend valuable time with him helping him hone his skills.

Thampi would be a different - and unique - option in team India's bowling arsenal for the management to choose from. He also brings a surprise element, as he has not been exposed as much to international cricket yet.
