Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Sing, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan who were all a part of the World Cup 2011 winning squad haven't found a place in the 30-member World Cup 2015 probables list.

Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Sing, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan who were all a part of the World Cup 2011 winning squad haven't found a place in the 30-member World Cup 2015 probables list.

The five-member selection panel headed by Sandeep Patil met at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai to select the probables for the mega event.

Only four members of the squad that won the 2011 World Cup have survived - MS Dhoni, Ravichandran Ashwin, Suresh Raina, Virat Kohli.

Yuvraj won the Player of the Tournament award in the 2011 World Cup but has been woefully out of form of late. The 32-year-old left hander has scored only one half century in the recent Vijay Hazare Trophy and failed in the only innings he figured in for North Zone in the Deodhar Trophy.

Sehwag too is going through a rough patch, his scores, barring an innings of 80 against Haryana in the north zone one-day league were nothing much to shout about.

Zaheer Khan has been struggling with his fitness for a long time now. Gambhir and Harbhajan had the best chance among these five of making it to the list. But the selectors decided that they were surplus to requirement.

The preliminary list will be pruned down by January 7th and sent to the ICC ahead of the February 14-March 29 mega event.
