The bowler from Uttar Pradesh was extremely skilful but lost his place in the side only due to lack of pace. With Umesh Yadav, Mohammad Shami, and Ishant Sharma taking up the role of the fast bowlers in the side, it looks highly unlikely that Praveen will feature in the Indian side again.

Despite having an average of 25 in Tests, he had an extremely short Test career playing only 6 matches for India in 2011.

He had a longer ODI career which spanned from 2007-2012 where he played 68 ODIs at an average of 36.02 with 77 wickets to his name.
