India's cricket selectors Monday selected a 15-member squad for the World Cup starting Feb 19 in the sub-continent.

The squad includes eight batsmen, four pacers and three spinners.

Skipper Dhoni will be the lone wicket keeper for the entire tournament.

Spinners will play a major role in the World, Krishnamachari Srikkanth, chairman of the cricket board's selection committee, said, justifying the inclusion of three tweakers in the Indian squad for the quadrennial event.
