However, Umesh Yadav might have been a lot more effective in the limited-overs format, given his performances over the past year or so. He can pick up wickets with the new ball and constantly trouble the batsmen with his swing. However, the team management decided against selecting him.
He will now have to wait and see if he is given a chance to prove himself before the World Cup.
