Dravid to lead, Ganguly provisionally selected

Cricinfo staff

July 18, 2005

Rahul Dravid will lead the Indian team in the forthcoming triangular series in Sri Lanka, while Sourav Ganguly has been included in the squad as a provisional 16th member. This means that Ganguly will play under Dravid if the suspension handed down by the ICC in April - which has four further games to run - is revoked. In the event of the suspension not being lifted, Ganguly will not travel to Sri Lanka, focussing instead on his county commitments with Glamorgan.

The selectors brought in two new faces, Suresh Raina and Venugopal Rao, while Jai P Yadav's reward for some stellar performances in domestic cricket last season is the allrounder's slot.

Anil Kumble and VVS Laxman both found a place in the squad, while Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Irfan Pathan and Lakshmipathy Balaji were the mediumpacers selected.

Squad Virender Sehwag, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid (capt), VVS Laxman, Yuvraj Singh, Mohammed Kaif, Suresh Raina, Venugopala Rao, Jai P Yadav, Mahendra Dhoni (wk), Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, Irfan Pathan, Zaheer Khan, Lakshmipathy Balaji, Ashish Nehra.

Unless West Indies fly in a real team for the ODI series, I don't see them making a final with two subcontinent specialists playing. I reckon it'll be an India-Sri Lanka final with Sri Lanka pipping India to the post.

 

[m_vaughan]

I am also going for a India v Sri Lanka final. West Indies look so ordinary atm.

But it could all change if three players make it in time for this tournament.
Chris Gayle
Brian Lara

[indiancricketer]

yeah...india looks like they have a good squad i hope i can watch these series

 

[aussie1st]

i would say india sl final, picking the winning is a bit harder. Both teams could win it on any given day

guys what u think who's gonna win .

 

[Satish555]

checking it on a non-nationality/racism basis.... i have to go with sri lanka.

they got vaas murli. 2 of the main and worlds best. althogh batting is pretty average now.

probly surya and attapatu will strike.

 

[m_vaughan]

i just realised....no mumbai player in the indian squad...what the ?????

Also who the hell are..?
Jai P Yadav
Suresh Raina
Venugopal Rao

 

[aditya123]

J.P.Yadav has played 2 ODIs and got smashed by Gayle and Hinds , I think in the same game where Balaji made his debut .
Suresh Raina is a dashing batmen from U.P , impressed in the under 19 world cup
Venugopal Rao was knocking the doors of the selection committee for sometime now !

Three new picks , I doubt whether all 3 might get a chance .; Venugopal Rao might just play a game or 2 .
The Indian XI should be
M.S.Dhoni
V.Sehwag
VVS.Laxman
R.Dravid
M.Kaif
Y.Singh
S.Raina/J.P.Yadav
I.Pathan
H.Singh
L.Balaji
Z.Khan

 

[Ashish_Nehra]

Hey supersubs will allow 12 players. so both Raina and Yadav can play
The XI(when batting)
Sehwag
Dravid
Dhoni
Yuvraj
Kaif
Laxman
Raina
Balaji
Yadav
Irfan
Harbhajan

when bowling subs. raina and get nehra

so we get nehra,balaji,hrabhajan,irfan and yadav as 5 bowlers

we can take zaheer in place of yadav anyway.
and rao in place of raina.
also kumble in place of irfan/harbhajan/laxman.
and ganguly - huge murali hitter, if retruning in place of laxman

so everyone can play

interestung will be role of powerplay
