Khaleel Ahmed could be India's fourth pacer for the World Cup
Khaleel Ahmed is definitely in reckoning for the spot of the fourth fast bowler for India in the 2019 World Cup squad. Khaleel will look to join the trio of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami for the World Cup.

The fact that Khaleel is a left handed pace bowler goes in favour of him as the only missing link in India's pace tank is a left handed fast bowler.
In the 8 ODIs he has played for India, he has picked up 11 wickets at an average of 30.73, economy of 5.37 and a strike rate of 34.36.
The World Cup is a long event and Khaleel can be the perfect back up in case there is any injury to any of the premier pace bowlers. The 21-year-old pace bowler has had an impressive start to his cricket career and has the ability to pick up wickets at regular intervals.
While Khaleel is still young and in a learning phase, a place in the World Cup squad will be the perfect platform for the youngster to showcase his talent on the big stage.
