India WC XI:
1. Dhawan
2. Rahane
3. Kohli
4. Raina
5. Rohit
6. Dhoni*+
7. Jadeja
8. Ashwin
9. Bhuvaneshwar (1)
10. Shami
11. Aaron (2)
Jadeja is a very useful player to have in an ODI tournament - tight bowling, great fielding and able to score quick runs too. Not many teams will be playing a World Cup in Australia with 2 spinners, but I feel that India cannot do better than the 3 pacers listed.

He's okay behind the stumps, what I remember from his time at RR he's about average. Not bad but not brilliant.
I reckon he's a bit of a flat-track bully, but if he keeps scoring runs his name will pop up eventually. He did get picked to go to Zimbabwe after all.
As for Aus/WC - nah. Saha is already set as part of the squad, is even playing these SL ODIs. They won't bring in Ojha from the cold and just dump Saha so quickly.

We desperately need that all-rounder who could bat at seventh and be the fifth bowler. Akshar has done well and Jadeja is good but both are good for subcontinental conditions. Not sure if they are ideal options in Australia and New Zealand.
