India
Pakistan
Sri Lanka

South Africa
New Zealand

Holland
Namibia
Kenya
Canada
Bangladesh
West Indies

Rumours circulating have CW XI in a group with Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, Canada, Kenya, Namibia, Hollamd and Scotland...

More soon...

Rumours denied considering that Pools consist of 4 teams each.

That's despicable although i expect Kenya and Canada to give the CWXI a fight, not sure about Zimbabwe and Bangladesh though.

I expect CW to take Canada comfortably, Kenya if they perform to the best of their ability can challenge but i expect us to make the semi's at the very least....

This side has proven we can compete and beat the best, as shown on our last tour to Australia...

what's the format of the WC since that grouping would never happen?

The format is, if (as I expect) it is the same as the 2007 groups will be:

Four Groups of Four [Teams allocated to World Ranking]
GROUP A: 1-8-9-16
GROUP B: 2-7-10-15
GROUP C: 3-6-11-14
GROUP D: 4-5-12-13

QUARTER FINALS: (1):A1vB2 (2):A2vB1 (3):C1vD2 (4):C2vD1
SEMI FINALS: (5):1v4 (6):2v3
FINAL: (7):5v6

oh ok thanks

We're considering a modification on that though, where we have the pool stage, then a Super 8's stage, then the semis, then the final.

Would be interesting to hear some feedback on which format we should use.

What about Harbhajan??? Even if there is a world cup next week he is said to be injured for only 3 more weeks

Is there any possibilty of some of the CW players not selected for the CWXI to be included in the regional squads for the warmup games?eg Jamaica
