What should be the 15 man squad for T20 WC in Srilanka?

[ShebbySB]

This is my squad of 15:- Sehwag Gambhir Rahane Raina Kohli Rohit Dhoni(C & Wk) Uthappa(reserve keeper/bat) Yousuf/Jadeja Ashwin Rahul Sharma Irfan Umesh Dinda Awana/Aaron Maybe Dhawan can come in if Sehwag doesn't play.

[saneindian]

We will pick Zaheer, PK/VK and one out of Umesh, Aaron, Dinda as the three pacers, Irfan and Jaddu as all rounders. Yusuf's abysmal run means he will not get a spot. I expect our selectors to name this squad Sehwag, GG, Rahane, Kohli, Raina, Rohit, MSD, Uthappa, Jaddu, Irfan, Ashwin, Rahul Sharma, Zak, one out of PK/VK, one out of Umesh/Aaron

[ShebbySB]

PK or VK in T20 means doom for team India:((

[Roshanrocks]

Yousuf? :blink:

[rkt.india]

If I am selector, I wont pick PK, VK, for T20 WC. Kohli, Jaddu will be last options for Xi. My 16 men squad would be. Viru Rahane Gambhir Rohit Raina Dhoni Irfan Ashwin Rahul Zak Yadav Dinda Awana/Aaron only if fit and bowling well Kohli Uthappa Pragyan Ojha/Jadeja

^ why Irfan he done nothing so far.. we can go with 7+4 or 6+5...

[Magneto]

As much as I would like to see Dinda in the team, the fact is that Dinda is a piss-poor fielder (his butter-fingers are difficult to hide) and cannot bat at all. Unless he bowls exceptionally and is completely fit, I don't see him getting in. I am wondering whether RP maybe given a chance if he performs consistently for the rest of the matches.

He is good with the new ball and can hit some lusty blows as well.

[asterix]

PK & VK will definitely be in the squad.

that only in few matches..other wise he is not that effective.. [he may prove me wrong today] my question is why cant we go with our best players rather than trying for bits n pieces [we lost last 2 t20 cups] 1.Lets go with 7 batsmen+ 4 bowlers [Rohit,Raina can share 4 overs between them] what we are going to save 10/15 runs?? 2.Go with 6 batsmen + 5 bowlers [ hope ths 5 reduce 15/20 run target]

4 specialist bowlers plus one 50-50 alrounder is good. You cannot play 5 specialist bowlers.

sehwag gambhir rahane kohli raina dhoni jaddu ashwin zaheer umesh awana rohit nadeem aaron dhiwan

then go with 7 + 4 Rohit + Raina and even Viru can bowl a over or 2 [at max you will give 15/20 extra]

15-20 extras are too much.

[jusarrived]

Viru Kohli Gambhir Rohit Raina Uthappa ( Rahane is Viru is no playing ) Dhoni Irfan Ashwin Yadav Veer P singh / Aaron / Awana Leave Zak out of T20s , let the younger guys get a chance .

15-20 extras are too much.

but you have advantage of a genuine extra Batsman so top order wont feel much pressure

Pathan is better than most specialist batsmen we have in terms of hitting down the order.

[Stuge]

No useless Pathan please .He is ultra junk now . Gully cricket suits him well, and he should stick to it [Not even IPL].

Replace Ahswin with Bhajii and Uthappa with Jadeja, we dont need a 60 ball 60 kinda player.
