- Sudeep Tyagi Makes Into Indian Team.
Roorkie Uttar Pradesh pacer Sudeep Tyagi was the lone new face in the squad, which also marked the return of Munaf Patel and young all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.
“Selectors are advised that Yuvraj would definitely be fit to play on October 28.
It is possible that he may be able to play the first match as well,” BCCI secretary N Srinivasan said in a statement.
Sehwag, meanwhile, has already recovered from his shoulder injury and is currently playing in the Champions League Twenty20.
There are some surprises in the squad.
The only new face in the team is right arm medium pacer Sudeep Tyagi who has impressed the selectors with his performance in the Challenger Trophy.
However, the surprising decision taken by the selectors is the exclusion of experienced middle order batsman Rahul Dravid who was recalled to ODI squad to bolster the middle order in Champions Trophy.
Experienced pacer Zaheer Khan was not available for selection as he needs more time to recover his injury.
All rounder Yusuf Pathan and pacer RP Singh have lost their places in the squad for their poor form.
The squad: Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Gautam Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Virat Kohli, Praveen Kumar, Amit Mishra, Ashish Nehra, Suresh Raina, Ishant Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Munaf Patel, Sudeep Tyagi.
