No Indian in ICC T20 squad for men

Reflecting their failed title defence, not a single Indian cricketer made it to International Cricket Council's special team of the Twenty20 World Cup for men announced on Monday.

The ICC special women's team, however, included Indian pacer Rumeli Dhar in it.

A five-member panel picked the 11-member men's team, led by Pakistan captain Younus Khan.

The team, including 12th man Lasith Maligna, contained four players from Pakistan, three each from South Africa and Sri Lanka and two from the West Indies.

The women team, led by England skipper Charlotte Edwards, included five players from the winner, England, four from beaten finalist New Zealand and one each from Australia, India and Sri Lanka.

Both teams include the respective players of the tournament, Tillakarante Dilshan of Sri Lanka and England’s Claire Taylor.

 
The men's team was chosen by a select group of experts, including former England pacer Jonathan Agnew, cricketer-turned-commentator Ian Bishop, Twenty20 World Cup Tournament Director Steve Elworthy, ICC Match Referee Alan Hurst and Indian journalist Sharda Ugra.
 
The women's team was selected by ICC Match Referee Chris Broad, former England captain Clare Connor, Steve Elworthy, commentator Alison Mitchell and journalist Jenny Roesler.

Its strange at least Yuvraj Singh must be part of this squad. I think ICC is just behaving like the film awards in India. All prizes have been granted to the most sucessful movie quality of work is doesn't matter.
