Mumbai India on Monday named a 15-member squad under Mahendra Singh Dhoni for the ICC Twenty20 World Championship scheduled in England next month. The All India Senior Selection Committee did not spring any major surprise in the squad which has Virender Sehwag as the vice captain.

The selectors last month had announced 30 probables and pruned the list on Monday.

Among those who could not make it to the final 15 are wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik, Tamil Nadu opener M Vijay, Mumbai trio of Ajinkya Rahane, Dhawal Kulkarni and Abhishek Nayar, Tamil Nadu batsman S Badrinath, Delhi batsman Virat Kohli, Bengal duo of Manoj Tiwary and Wriddhiman Saha, Haryana leggie Amit Mishra, Tamil Nadu pacer L Balaji and Madhya Pradesh stumper Naman Ojha.

Tamil Nadu off-spinner R Ashwin, who was named back-up for Harbhajan Singh, also failed to survive the pruning exercise.

Squad: M S Dhoni (c), Virender Sehwag (v-c), Gautam Gambhir, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Yusuf Pathan, Rohit Sharma, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, Praveen Kumar, RP Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Pragyan Ojha and Irfan Pathan.

Team India for T20 World Cup by Amal on 05 May 2009

Who's gonna be the backup wicketkeeper? Dhoni is the captain and the wicketkeeper, but no one as backup for him?

Best wishes to Team India. by Dr. Cajetan Coelho on 04 May 2009

Laying hands on the trophy should not be difficult to our supremely talented 15-member squad.

Mr by Bets on 04 May 2009

I think uthappa needs to work more on his game...he's been out of sorts for the last one and half years. His two recent knocks in IPL were not very convincing. I think Dinesh Karthick should have been there in the team with his performances in IPL so far. BUT one needs to be too good to be in this Indian side...lets wish them all the best!!
