If I have to pick a squad of 15 with everybody fit I'd pick this squad:-

First XI:-

Rohit

Rahul

Kohli(C)

Yuvraj

Dhoni(Wk)

Kedar

Pandya

Jadeja

Ashwin/BK (Depending on the track)

Shami

Bumrah

Reserves:- Rahane(Back up opener in English conditions),Pandey,BK/Ashwin,Umesh.

Pant should come in if any back up Wk/Bat is needed or Dhoni injured.I'd pick an

extra seamer in Umesh over a back up spinner.If a back up spinner is picked Kuldeep

is the guy for me.

Dhawan,Mishra dropped from squad.

Same Squad that is playing now. i would love to have Pant and others come in, but there is no time now and going by common sense only change that may happen is at the top of the order so Rohit in for Shikhar / Rahane.

Manish Pandey will battle it out with Rahane for that spare batsman spot in the squad.  Tough times for him to deal with, mentally.  Kedar Jadhav's 100 means he will get an extended run now.

In england there wont be 2 spinners in the x1 and that  

 

Rohit/Rahul/kohli/uv/Dhoni/Jadhav/Pandya/Ashwin/Bhuvi/Shami/Bumrah

 

Jadega/Rahane/Umesh/Pandey

Jadhav can also be the reserve keeper in case of emergency.

Both Ash n jaddu were in the xi in the last Champions Trophy and both did exceedingly well with the ball.

I would go with the following 16 member squad...

 

Rohit Sharma

KL Rahul

Virat Kohli (C)

Manish Pandey

MS Dhoni (W)

Kedar Jadhav

Hardik Pandya

Ravindra Jadeja

Ravi Ashwin

Bhuvi Kumar

Jasprit Bumrah

 

Other 5 players in the squad...

 

Mohammed Shami (Replace Bhuvi if needed)

Shikhar Dhawan (backup opener and the guy who shows up in tourneys - CT 2013, WC 2015)

Rishabh Pant (backup wkt keeper and a backup batsman)

Sarfraz Khan or Suresh Raina (whoever's in better form and can be used lower down the order to get quick runs)

Sandeep Sharma (to be used on a seam or swing friendly pitch where he can make the most of the new ball)

Starting XI:

 

Rohit, Pant, Kohli, Dhoni, Pandey, Jadhav, Pandya, Jadeja, Bhuvi, Shami, Bumrah 

 

Tempted to throw Pant as wildcard and open the batting...lot depends how he goes in the IPL.
