Will India opt for another fast bowler?

The right arm fast bowler was slated to play an ODI in the recently concluded series against Australia but failed to make it to the final eleven in any of the matches. With Bhuveshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah as the most likely frontline seamers for India this World Cup, captain Kohli might be tempted to play an extra seamer in swinging conditions in some matches at England.

Kaul, who is known for his death overs antics in the IPL might be a good replacement seamer to rely on. He has been instrumental in SRH's campaigns to the title and finals last year and will look to put in a good show this time around too. The performances he puts in the next two months can decide his fate for the World Cup.

But with three spots almost already confirmed for the fast bowlers in the squad, will the selectors be looking for an additional bowler who can be used as a replacement? or will the selectors rather focus on finding the right balance of the team in terms of quality spinner allrounders and middle order batsmen?
