Along with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been included as the third pacer in the squad. Playing for SRH, he took 13 wickets from 15 matches (15 innings) with an economy of 7.81.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar made his ODI debut for India against Pakistan in 2012. So far in his career, he has taken 118 wickets from 105 matches (104 innings) with an economy of 5.01 runs per over.

Of late, the medium pace bowler has not played for India due to injuries. It has been a decent 2019 season so far with 19 wickets from 10 matches (10 innings) with an economy of 5.23. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is someone who can bat well at number 8. He has contributed well occasionally with the bat.

If the conditions in England are helpful for fast bowlers, team management could play all three Indian pacers. With his ability to swing the ball both ways he would be a threat to any batting attack up front.
