can india get away with the part time bowlers in the world cup?

I remember how the srilankan part timers like aravinda and jayasurya did a fantastic job in the 96 world cup which was held in the subcontinent. They were magnificent. can indian part timers like yuvi, yusuf, and raina do similar jobs? Their role will be crucial in the middle overs.

I like Yuvraj as he is quite economical, Yusuf Pathan can be expensive but is a wicket taking option. I'm not sure about Raina. I think Batsman could probably get after him. Does anyone on this forum rate Raina's bowling. When i watch him he looks very average but rarely seems to get smashed. The only time i have seen him taken apart was when Sangakkara went after him in that ODI where both sides scored over 400 and in the 1st test against the Saffers where ABDV killed him.

yuvraj would be an excellent part time option. his flat, full length deliveries coming into the batsman from outside off can be difficult to get away and he uses the rough really well. he has owned some really good batsmen with his spin bowling, i.e. kevin pietersen part timers arent really a concern because with india picking 3 spinners in the squad, its pretty clear that dhoni is gonna go with 2 seamers, 2 spinners and use yuvraj as a part timer, and a few oves from somebody like raina if needed. that combination will get the most out of the conditions
