India’s list of 30 probable’s for ICC Cricket World Cup 2011


Today morning, Indian Selectors declared the list of the 30 member squad out of which 15 who make out to the top to represent India in the ICC World Cup 2011. The list of the players announced by the selectors was not sort of amusing as it was much predicted and expected for this time as the cricket World Cup will be hosted in the sub-continent.


Ajinkya Rahane, Mumbai’s middle order batsmen was the only uncapped player among the list. Chetashwar Pujara, who made a promising half century against the mighty Aussie’s on his debut has also been picked with the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, allrounder Yusuf Pathan after his smashing 123 off just 96 deliveries against New Zealand after India was left clueless on 188/5 chasing a mighty total of 316. Legspinner Piyush Chawla has also been included.


India will be going in with four wicketkeepers-MS Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik, W Saha and Parthiv Patel. W Saha and Parthiv Patel both impressed the selectors on the recent cricket series against New Zealand where both of them scored some fascinating half centuries to get themselves place in the 30 member’s list. While Irfan Pathan, missed out on the list showing how far he has dropped in the eyes of the selection committee, he also missed out the Ranji season due to his injury.


Kris Srikanth, chairman of the selection committee said that the final 15 member squad will be decided on the coming January 19th, till then we will have to wait and watch if any more surprises awaiting or not. He said as the World Cup will be happening in the subcontinent, he is pretty confident of this team performing well.

Preliminary Squad: MS Dhoni, Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Sreesanth, Munaf Patel, Ishant Sharma, Vinay Kumar, M Vijay, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Ajinkya Rahane, Saurabh Tiwary, Yusuf Pathan, Parthiv Patel, R Ashwin, Wriddhiman Saha, Dinesh Karthik, Shikhar Dhawan, Amit Mishra, Piyush Chawla, Cheteshwar Pujara, Pragyan Ojha, Praveen Kumar
