The Indian selection commitee continued to keep out old pros Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid in the one-day side, picking a young 15-member squad for the five-match trip to Bangladesh and the Asia Cup to be played in Pakistan.

Apart from picking two new faces — Yusuf Pathan and Pragyan Ojha — the selectors recalled seamer R P Singh who replaced Munaf Patel. The selectors also dropped Manoj Tiwary and Dinesh Karthik, while ignoring Ganguly and Dravid once again. Sachin Tendulkar has made himself unavailable for the two assignments as he has not recovered fully from his prolonged groin injury.

Squad: MS Dhoni (capt & wk), Y Singh, R Uthappa, G Gambhir, V Sehwag, R Sharma, S Raina, Y Pathan, I Pathan, Sreesanth, I Sharma, P Kumar, RP Singh, P Chawla, P Ojha
