The selection committee took around three and half hours to decide on the sqaud for the two T20s against New Zealand in August and for the ICC World Twenty20 to be held in September in Sri Lanka.
 
Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Laxmipathy Balaji found their way back in the sqaud after a long agap.
 
Yuvraj has not played a single match in the last nine months.
 
However, his class and experience in the shortest format was the logic behind his selection apart from the popular sentiment to bring him back which definitely played a part.
 
Harbhajan's selection was simply based on his past record as India's spin department is pretty thin on experience.
 
Harbhajan last played for India against England at Trent Bridge last July-August before he flew back with an injury and has not been considered for selection since then.
  
The inclusion of Balaji is based on his impressive performance for Kolkata Knight Riders in the last two editions of the Indian Premier League. The 30-year-old's ability to bowl effective slower deliveries at the death has led to his selection over Umesh Yadav.
