World Cup 2019: India's expected 30-man preliminary squad
All the teams are expected to submit their final 15-man squad list by the end of March 2019 or the first week of April.
Middle order (1) – Virat Kohli, Ambati Rayudu, Ajinkya Rahane, Manish Pandey, Suresh Raina
Apart from skipper Virat Kohli, no other name is a hundred per cent starter, which is a trouble for the team management. India have issues with the number four position and looking at the way Ambati Rayudu played against the Windies, he might’ve hit good form exactly at the right time. His selection in the side seems more or less a confirmed news for the World Cup.
Ajinkya Rahane, India number four in the previous World Cup, has lost touch big time and is failing to cope with the expected standards of the side. Manish Pandey and Suresh Raina have made very few appearances and they need to buck up big time to get back into consideration. As it stands, Kohli and Rayudu look sure shots with Rahane having a greater chance amongst others.
