New Delhi: Some promised but failed when it mattered the most, some just could not exploit the potential they had and some jus ignored for the World Cup. India TV looks at some of the bowlers who have been around for plenty of time but haven't played in cricket's biggest show.
Irfan Pathan
ODI wickets: 173
Debut: 2004
Irfan Pathan was one of the most promising all rounders in the country when emerged on domestic cricket scene. He has been Man of the Match in a World T20 final, and has a hat-trick in the first over of a Test, but he has missed out on playing in cricket's biggest tournament. His debut came a year after the 2003 version, and in 2007 he didn't get a game, as Zaheer Khan, Munaf Patel and Ajit Agarkar were preferred over him. By the time the 2011 World Cup came, Irfan just starting fading away from the national team. It has been nearly three years since he last played for India.
