World Cup 2019: One benched player from each team who should be included in the playing XI

#2 Australia - Jason Behrendorff

Australia boasts of an extremely strong pace-attack with the likes of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins enjoying a good show thus far. However, the team will have a lot of rethinking to do post the matches against West Indies and India.

Nathan Coulter-Nile might have excelled with the bat but with the ball in hand, he has looked very patchy. Jason Behrendroff's ability to move the ball both ways early on could add an extra feature to Australia's bowling unit and could well be making his World Cup debut soon.

#1 India - Ravindra Jadeja

Competition for places in the Indian playing XI is so tight that someone like Ravindra Jadeja is kept out of the playing XI. With Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal doing exceedingly well in the past, Jadeja has found it difficult to get into the side.

However, in the two warm-up games leading to the World Cup, the all-rounder impressed both with the bat as well as ball and seemed to have sealed a spot in the playing XI, but couldn't make it.

Yet, Kuldeep Yadav has just one wicket to show from two games and with Jadeja impressing on field as well against Australia, his three-dimensional style of play could add depth to the Indian squad.
