Uthappa gets the axe from WC campaign
Robin Uthappa and pacer Munaf Patel got the axe from India's side for the ICC World Twenty20.
The All India Senior Selection Committee did not spring any major surprise in the squad which has Virender Sehwag as the vice captain.The selectors last month had announced 30 probables and pruned the list today.
Among those who could not make it to the final 15 are wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik, Tamil Nadu opener M Vijay, Mumbai trio of Ajinkya Rahane, Dhawal Kulkarni and Abhishek Nayar, Tamil Nadu batsman S Badrinath, Delhi batsman Virat Kohli, Bengal duo of Manoj Tiwary and Wriddhiman Saha, Haryana leggie Amit Mishra, Tamil Nadu pacer L Balaji and Madhya Pradesh stumper Naman Ojha.
Tamil Nadu off-spinner R Ashwin, who was named back-up for Harbhajan Singh, also failed to survive the pruning exercise.
