BCCI has announced the the 30 Member Preliminary Squad for the ICC World Cup 2015 and had ended the hopes of its 2011 World Cup winners Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan. It has been a year since any them made to the ODI side.
Sehwag, the highest individual scorer of 2011 World Cup, Gambhir (the Man of Match of Final for me), scored crucial 97 in the Final, Yuvraj, Man of the Tournament, Harbhajan, who played an important role in every match and Zaheer, the highest wicket taker of the 2011 World Cup, were all omitted from the 30 Member Squad picked by Indian Selectors on Monday. All of them got a cold goodbye.
The selectors had decided to move on to the younger generation and to give edge to players who perform good in domestic cricket over the seniors who didn't perform well there. Only four players, Dhoni, Kohli, Raina and Ashwin were the part of 2011 winning side. The selectors thinks the new side have potential to defend the Cup and I hope the youngsters prove themselves on the biggest stage of Cricket.
