India’s veteran Harbhajan Singh revealed his version of the World Cup 2019 squad and while most of the team includes the usual and probable names, Harbhajan has included few while keeping one cricketer out.

The Turbanator revealed that he would include Umesh Yadav and Vijay Shankar in his team and would keep Ravindra Jadeja as a possibility. However, contrary to the thoughts of many veteran cricketers, Harbhajan has left out Rishabh Pant from his squad.

Pant had scored 350 runs in the Australian series at an average over 55. Pant was included in the T20I series against New Zealand and managed scores of 4, 40 and 28 in the three-match contest where India lost 1-2.

According to Bhajji, Umesh had been remarkable for his Ranji side Vidarbha which won the second straight title. He took 24 wickets in the four Ranji matches he played this season.

As for Vijay, the cricketer had shown impressive work against Australia and New Zealand in limited overs. Although he was wicketless in the four ODIs he played Down Under, he scored 45 in the third one-day against New Zealand. He added another 89 in three innings in the T20I series against New Zealand while batting at No.3.

The off-spinner has who has praised Jadeja on various occasions for his batting and fielding prowess has kept him as a possibility for the showpiece event.

"If you remember, during the 2017 Champions Trophy, the weather in the UK was hot and humid. So, if conditions are same, Jadeja could still be used as a package, if the opposition team has five to six right-handers in their line-up. Play him as No.6 with Hardik Pandya as No.7. Also, he is still your best fielder," Harbhajan had told PTI during an interview.

Harbhajan's 15-man squad for 2019 ICC World Cup: Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni, Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Dinesh Karthik, Umesh Yadav, and Vijay Shankar. Probable: Ravindra Jadeja
