MELBOURNE (Reuters) - The clamour in Australia to include Adam Zampa in the Cricket World Cup squad has reached fever pitch after his strong series in India but the legspinner feels his place is far from assured.

The 26-year-old from Shellharbour, New South Wales, played a key role in the 3-2 series comeback victory over Virat Kohli's side, taking 11 wickets at an average of 25.81 to outduel India's spinners on their own pitches and claim second on the wicket-taking list behind seamer Pat Cummins.
