The Indian team for the ICC World T20 will be announced today. However, the selectors could face some tricky decisions as they look to make the best of the players that they have and ensure that none of them are injured while going into the tournament, much like last year when fitness concerns had caused much woes within the team. Will selectors risk taking him into the squad?>

The players on the injury list are MS Dhoni, Gautam Gambhir and Ashish Nehra. Dhoni made a return to the IPL after missing out three games in the tournament, but he did not get an opportunity to bat. The selectors would obviously pick him up given that he is back into the fold and playing. Ashish Nehra>

Gautam Gambhir has had an injured hamstring and is yet to feature in the last three matches of the tournament. However, it is said that he is moving towards his fitness and should be playing soon. The unfortunate part is with Nehra having yet to be seen in IPL, the selectors may just want to select someone else and not take a chance with his fitness.

Amongst the batsmen, Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina should be automatic choices, but there could be likes of Manish Pandey, Rohit Sharma and Robin Uthappa in the reckoning. The bowling could possess an extra spinner apart from Harbhajan Singh, whereas Yusuf Pathan or Irfan Pathan could join in as an all-rounder.
