According to reports, India will stick to the ODI squad they have fielded over the recent few months -- in the ODI series against Australia and New Zealand -- but there may be one or two surprise inclusions made. The big question mark is over the No.4 spot in the batting order, Vijay Shankar will be on top 4.. Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli pick themselves for the top three spots.

Talking about KL Rahul, Prasad said: We also have a role for KL Rahul in the top order, he is the reserve opener."

Rayudu was dropped against Australia in the home series, which was India's last international assignment before the World Cup. While Ambati Rayudu lost his No.4 slot, young wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant lost the battle to seasoned wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik.
