Former India captain Rahul Dravid has been included in the preliminary squad for the Champions Trophy in South Africa in September, raising hopes of the senior batsman’s return to the one-day format. The veteran batsman’s last one-day international appearance came in October 2007 before selectors pitched for youth with an eye on the 2011 World Cup to be staged in the sub-continent.

However, the selection committee on Monday named Dravid to the probables along with Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag after a young Indian batting unit struggled against short pitched bowling at last month’s Twenty20 World Cup in England.
Tendulkar, who does not play Twenty20 internationals, opted out of the recent one-day tour of the West Indies while Sehwag missed the Caribbean trip due to a shoulder injury that had ruled him out of the World Twenty20 event.

Probables:
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Suresh Raina, Yusuf Pathan, Abhishek Nayar, Ishant Sharma, Zaheer Khan, Rudra Pratap Singh, Praveen Kumar, Harbhajan Singh, Pragyan Ojha, Ravindra Jadeja, Dinesh Karthik, Munaf Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Murali Vijay, Amit Mishra, Ajinkya Rahane, Dhawal Kulkarni, Subramaniam Badrinath, Ashish Nehra, Virat Kohli, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, WSaha, Pankaj Singh. —
