12 pacers among India's W'Cup probables

The selection committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, which met in Kolkata on Wednesday, released a list of 16 players, who will be added to the 14-man team for the New Zealand one-day series, to make up India's provisional 30-member squad for the World Cup in South Africa next year.

They also named Sourav Ganguly captain of the team for the February 9 - March 23, 2003 tournament.

Board of Control for Cricket in India secretary S K Nair said the final 15-member squad will be named by December 31, the deadline set by the ICC.

Veteran seamer Venkatesh Prasad is the lone startling selection in the World Cup probables' list, which has as many as 12 pace bowlers, keeping in mind the fast tracks of South Africa.

Rohan Gavaskar, son of the legendary Sunil Gavaskar, made it to the probables' list after a successful season with West Bengal this year.

Deep Dasgupta also finds a place as the third wicketkeeper, besides first-choice Rahul Dravid and Parthiv Patel.
