Rahul Dravid finds himself back in the reckoning for one-day internationals after being named in India's 30-member probables' list for the Champions Trophy.

The selection committee, which met at the M A Chidambaram stadium in Chennai on Monday to pick the probables for the top-eight nations' tournament, in South Africa, from September 24 to October 5, however, ignored Irfan Pathan and Robin Uthappa.

A veteran of 333 ODIs, Dravid has been out of India's ODI squad since playing his last one-dayer against Australia in Nagpur in 2007.

Batting ace Sachin Tendulkar, who opted out of the just-concluded West Indies tour, is also in the list as are the injured duo of Virender Sehwag and Zaheer Khan.

Hard-hitting Delhi batsman Virat Kohli, Bengal stumper Wriddhiman Saha, Tamil Nadu's R Ashiwin and Murali Vijay also find a place among the probables.

UP pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar, lanky Rajasthan medium pacer Pankaj Singh and the Mumbai duo of Ajinkya Rahane and Dhawal Kulkarni are also among the shortlisted players.

Probables: M S Dhoni, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Suresh Raina, Yusuf Pathan, Abhishek Nayar, Ishant Sharma, Zaheer Khan, R P Singh, Praveen Kumar, Harbhajan Singh, Pragyan Ojha, Ravindra Jadeja, Dinesh Karthik, Munaf Patel, R Ashwin, M Vijay, Amit Mishra, Ajinkya Rahane, Dhawal Kulkarni, S Badrinath, Ashish Nehra, Virat Kohli, Bhuvneshwar Kumar Singh, Wridhiman Saha, Pankaj Singh.
