Dhawal Kulkarni in India ODI squad, Ishant Sharma dropped
Nov 14, 2013
Ishant Sharma and Vinay Kumar, who had forgettable series against Australia last month, have been dropped as the selectors picked India's 15-man squad for the one-dayers against West Indies. Mumbai pace bowler Dhawal Kulkarni has earned a maiden national limited-overs call-up, while allrounder Ravindra Jadeja, who was rested for the preceding Test series to allow him the chance to recover from a shoulder injury, is back. Haryana seamer Mohit Sharma, who featured in the second-string squad that played in Zimbabwe in August, has also been included. Kulkarni was last included in the national squad in 2009 for a Test series against New Zealand while Mohit made a dream debut against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo during the fourth ODI in August this year. Apart from these two changes, the selectors have retained the rest of the side that won the seven-match ODI series against Australia 3-2.Yuvraj Singh, who also had a very poor one-day series against Australia, retained his place. The squad announced by BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel has seven batsmen in skipper Dhoni, Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina and Ambati Rayudu. The five-member pace attack will be led by Mohammed Shami and will also include Bhuvneshwar Kumar and left-arm seamer Jaydev Unadkat. Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin will spearhead the spin department along with leg spinner Amit Mishra and left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja.
