Team India for Twenty20 world cup

Batsman - Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni
Batting All rounder- Suresh Raina, Virender Sehwag, Yusuf Pathan, Yuvraj Singh
Bowling All rounder- Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Abhishek Nayar, Praveen Kumar
Bowler- RP Singh, Pragyan Ojha, Munaf Patel, Ashish Nehra

Given the performances in the first half of the IPL 2 in South Africa, I would rather love the above players to be selected for the Twenty20 world cup team for India. There are certain slots that do have some competitors for example there is a fight between Ojha and Mishra and also Munaf Patel and Kamaran Khan or even Laxmipati Balaji. Maybe Abhishek Nayar might just not fit the bill too well as of now but given his fielding capabilities I would still love to include him, he could face the challenge from Zaheer Khan for his experience. The other major change could be if Sachin does not want to be part of the team as he sometime back suggested that could make way for Ravindra Jadeja or even someone like Sreevats Goswamy. Even These are only speculations- the replacements – the sixteen that have been in the table deserve more than their probable counterparts. Let us see how does BCCI selectors think of my suggestions. They generally are known to think different to my suggestions. It is all right, they are the better informed people than me.
I do not know when they pick the final team for the next month's big event on the cricket's international calendar.
