The 15-member squad unveiled by chief selector MSK Prasad contained no real surprises. The selectors considered left-arm unorthodox bowler Kuldeep Yadav before deciding a spin attack comprising Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, aided by part-timer Yuvraj Singh, should be sufficient. Former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni retained his place in the squad amid whispers that the wicketkeeper-batsman's 'finisher' reputation was on the wane. The top eight sides in the world rankings compete in the Champions Trophy. Squad:Virat Kohli (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, MS Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Manish Pandey.
