Australia's fast bowling all-rounder Nathan Coulter-Nile says he is not sure of his place for the big-ticket World Cup encounter against India despite a match-winning 92 against West Indies.
His 92 off just 60 balls proved vital in Australia's 15-run victory, but the 31-year-old believes his expensive outing with the ball in Bristol may not help his cause.
Asked if he felt his spot was secure, Coulter-Nile said: "No. I took none for 70.
"We've got two world-class (fast) bowlers (on the sidelines). I'm not in the team to make runs, hopefully the top order does that, so I wouldn't be surprised if I got dropped for the next game," he was quoted as saying by Cricket Australia.
"I'm in the team to take wickets and I've had two wicketless games, so we'll see how we go."
"I think it's good to have competition and it wouldn't be good if we had no one pushing you trying to get better, so I love it."
