Gautam Gambhir, statemate Virender Sehwag and Pathan brothers Yusuf and Irfan are the notable omissions in India's 30-member list of probables for the upcoming World T20 in March and April this year.

Gambhir, who is India's highest scorer in T20 Internationals with 932 runs from 37 games at a strike rate of 119.02, played a big role in India's World T20 title win back in 2007 but has of late dropped off the selection radar.

Sehwag, meanwhile, looked totally off-colour in domestic cricket this season and his exclusion was, to an extent, expected.

However, Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh - both also struggling to get back into national reckoning - will be pleased to find a mention. New names include veteran Delhi all-rounder Rajat Bhatia - a surprise pick - and some expected mentions like Sanju Samson, Ishwar Pandey, Unmukt Chand and Mandeep Singh. Gloveman Parthiv Patel too finds a mention.

World T20 probables (men): Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Ajinkya Rahane, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, Vinay Kumar, Stuart Binny, Mohit Sharma, Kedar Jadhav, Yuvraj Singh, Amit Mishra, Rajat Bhatia, Sanju Samson, Ishwar Pandey, Umesh Yadav, Unmukt Chand, Mandeep Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Varun Aaron, Shahbaz Nadeem, Parthiv Patel, Karn Sharma.
