Teams anounce World T20 probables

India WT20 Squad

The Indian cricket team selectors Friday named youngsters Sanju Samson, Stuart Binny and seniors Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh among the 30 probables for the Twenty20 World Cup in Bangladesh March 16-April 6. Discarded India openers Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir were overlooked, as well as Pathan brothers Irfan and Yusuf. Gambhir has 932 runs in 37 T20 matches with seven 50s, which is highest among the Indian batsmen.

The MS Dhoni versus Delhi openers rift might be a reason for both Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir not finding a place in the team. The relationship between Dhoni and Virender Sehwag reached a nadir during India's 2011-12 tour to Australia, when press conferences were used to take pot shots at each other. Dhoni's statement that the Sehwag, Gambhir and Tendulkar trio are slow, dragged the usually quiet Gambhir into the midst of things. After both were dropped from the Indian team, and the selectors picked only two regular openers - Shikhar Dhawan and Murali Vijay - for the tour of South Africa, Dhoni "named" Gautam Gambhir as the team's third opener while addressing the media ahead of the team's departure, almost mocking the senior opener.

India probables: Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Ajinkya Rahane, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, Vinay Kumar, Stuart Binny, Mohit Sharma, Kedar Jadhav, Yuvraj Singh, Amit Mishra, Rajat Bhatia, Sanju Samson, Ishwar Pandey, Umesh Yadav, Unmukt Chand, Mandeep Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Varun Aaron, Shahbaz Nadeem, Parthiv Patel, Karn Sharma.
