India Announced 15-member World T20 Squad

New Delhi: In the midst of the Indian Premier League, the national selectors, on Friday, picked the 15-member squad for Twenty20 Cricket World Cup which begins next month in the West Indies.

Gautam Gambhir and Ashish Nehra, who suffered injuries recently, were named in the squad to be led by MS Dhoni.

Ishant Sharma, S Sreesanth, RP Singh, Pragyan Ojha and Virat Kohli were not picked for the championship's third edition in the Caribbean from April 30-May 16.

Piyush Chawla and Vinay Kumar are the new faces in the otherwise tried and tested Indian squad.

Impressive performers in IPL like Robin Uthappa of RCB, Saurabh Tiwary of MI and Murali Kartik of Kolkata Knight Riders were not part of the 30-strong list picked last month.

India are in Group C with South Africa and qualifiers Afghanistan in the preliminary league phase of the 12-team event and their first match is against the Afghans on May 1.

In last June's Twenty20 World Cup in England, India's defence for the title they won with much fanfare in 2007 in South Africa was affected because of injuries to key players Virender Sehwag and Zaheer Khan.

Squad: MS Dhoni (capt & wk), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Piyush Chawla, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Vinay Kumar, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, Praveen Kumar, Ashish Nehra, Rohit Sharma, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Yusuf Pathan.
