The Indian squad for the upcoming cricket World Cup in the
Caribbean would be selected on February 12 in Mumbai.
The list of 30 probables for the World Cup would be
pruned to final 15 members as February 13 is the last day to submit the names
to the International Cricket Council, the BCCI Secretary Niranjan Shah
told reporters today.
Before that, the national selectors will meet on Saturday to
pick the team for the series against Sri Lanka, who will be playing four
one-dayers in India before the quadrennial event.
Sri Lanka will play four ODIs in Kolkata (Feb 8), Rajkot (Feb
11), Goa (Feb 14) and Vishakapatnam (Feb 17).
Shah also said seamer Munaf Patel, who is recuperating
from his ankle injury, would play a match against a local outfit tomorrow, following
which he will get himself assessed by BCCI's Dr Anant Joshi in Mumbai.
