Indian team for T20 World Cup

The selectors on Friday picked a 15-member Indian squad for the T20 World Cup in West Indies next month.

MS Dhoni being named captain and Virender Sehwag named vice-captain. [20-Apr] Sehwag has sustained injury during IPL and thus has been excluded from the squad. Gambhir has been named as vice captain for 2010 T20 World Cup.


Vinay Kumar, who has been in superb form in the ongoing Indian Premier League, was the only new face in the squad to be led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Pacers Ishant Sharma, S Sreesanth and RP Singh, who were in the provisional 30-member list, failed to figure in the squad while spinners Pragyan Ojha and Amit Mishra also missed the bus.

Chawla, who plays for Kings XI Punjab in the IPL, has done a decent job with the ball so far, which prompted the selectors to include him in the squad.

Indian T20 World Cup Squad: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Virender Sehwag (vice-captain), Gautam Gambhir, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Yusuf Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Zaheer Khan, Praveen Kumar, Ashish Nehra, R. Vinay Kumar, Dinesh Karthik, Rohit Sharma, Murali Vijay (replaces Sehwag) and Piyush Chawla.
