Mumbai: Veteran batsman Rahul Dravid and off-colour pacer Irfan Pathan failed to find a place in India’s 30-strong list of probables announced today for next year’s ODI cricket World Cup in the sub-continent.
In a squad which didn’t offer any major surprises, youngsters Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane were included along with established stars such as Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag.
The squad would be pruned to half by next month and chairman of selectors Kris Srikkanth said whatever be the final combination, it would do well at the quadrennial mega-event starting February 19 and to be played in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
“As you know there are no big surprises. This is a probables team and everyone selects himself.
