India's selectors plumped for youth and recent form while announcing a 30-man probables squad for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, which will begin from February 14 in Australia and New Zealand.
The batting will be led by MS Dhoni, the captain, with Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina and Ambati Rayudu forming the primary support cast. The bowling is packed with seamers, with eight frontline pacers and Stuart Binny's all-round skills to call on, led by the pacy Varun Aaron and Umesh Yadav, with the experienced Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar also there.
