Cricinfo staff July 7, 2007 Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly have been left out of the 30 probables that India's selectors picked for the Twenty20 World Cup to be held in South Africa in September. List of probables Virender Sehwag, Suresh Raina, Mohammad Kaif, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik, Irfan Pathan, Yusuf Pathan, Sreesanth, Manoj Tiwary, Ajit Agarkar, Karan Goel, Zaheer Khan, RP Singh, Ishant Sharma, Abhiskek Jhunjhunwala, Cheteshwar Pujara, Rajesh Pawar, Piyush Chawla, Harbhajan Singh, Joginder Sharma, Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir, Munaf Patel, Niranjan Behera, Praveen Kumar, Aniruddh Srikkanth, Ramesh Powar, Robin Uthappa, Niraj Patel More to follow ... ---- :whatchutalkingabout

A good Twenty20 XI from that list would be; Virender Sehwag, Robin Uthappa, Yuvraj Singh, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik, Irfan Pathan, Joginder Sharma, Yusuf Pathan, Harbhajan Singh An explosive batting lineup, and a bowling attack with medium pacers who will be hard to get away for boundaries and two useful spinners. Fast bowlers usually get killed in Twenty20. Sehwag can lead this XI.

Dravid and Saurav might not have even been selected :hysterical:

Had the Big Three not opted out of the ICC World Twenty20 meet, there’s a pretty good chance that the senior national selectors would have had a lengthy debate over the inclusion of at least two of them — regular Team India captain Rahul Dravid and his predecessor, Sourav Ganguly.

“It’s tough to say anything definitely, but my feeling is that Sachin Tendulkar alone would have been an absolute certainty for the probables’ list... There could well have been a long debate over Rahul and Sourav,” one of the five selectors told The Telegraph on Sunday.

Speaking on the morning after the 30 probables were picked in Mumbai, he added: “It’s not that Rahul and Sourav can’t play the Twenty20 game, but it’s more suited for youngsters. Sachin isn’t young either, but the way he batted in Ireland (against South Africa) was simply awesome...”

The maestro’s effort in the second ODI (93) was particularly special and he went on to pocket the Man-of-the-Series award. India won 2-1.

While Sachin and Dravid are 34, Sourav turned 35 on Sunday. Dravid’s the one who called the Board to convey that he and the other two wouldn’t like to be considered for the inaugural edition.

Of the three, Sachin is the only one to have played in India’s maiden Twenty20
