England picked Ravi Bopara and dropped Mal Loye from their World Cup squad.Batsmen Michael Vaughan and Kevin Pietersen were named Wednesday when the 15-man squad was announced, so the selectors decided to leave out batsman Loye in favor of an extra allrounder. Although Loye helped England rally from a disastrous Ashes defence to win a one-day series against Australia and New Zealand, England are confident that Vaughan will shake off a hamstring problem to captain the team in the Caribbean.Pietersen flew home from Australia with a fractured rib after playing only the first of the one-day games. Paul Nixon was picked ahead of Chris Read as the only specialist wicketkeeper, with batsmen Andrew Strauss or Ed Joyce likely to don the gloves should he be injured.Squad: Michael Vaughan (captain), James Anderson, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Paul Collingwood, Jamie Dalrymple, Andrew Flintoff, Ed Joyce, Jon Lewis, Sajid Mahmood, Paul Nixon, Monty Panesar, Kevin Pietersen, Liam Plunkett, Andrew Strauss.
