Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Mohammed Shami are the seven players who were part of the 2015 World Cup team.
Stuart Binny, Suresh Raina, Mohit Sharma, and Axar Patel form the batch of surprise entries that has been suggested by the former Indian cricketer, who has featured in three World Cups.
India’s 15-man squad for the upcoming World Cup will be announced on Monday. While, the team management is most likely to retain a number of familiar faces, there are few questions that still might riddle the selection committee before the announcement.
The current set of cricketers are engaged in the Indian Premier League with their respective franchises and it can also come in handy as a lot of players are vying for the spots that are yet to be decided.
