What will take up time at the Mumbai meeting is discussion over reserve players. There is a good chance that temperamental fast bowler S Sreesanth will be back but the selectors will have to get the clearance of the Indian cricket board who have warned him dire consequences if he misbehaves again. Sreesanth, if picked will sit on the reserve bench what with the return of Zaheer Khan.
Murali Vijay has a good chance of coming in as a back-up for the big names in the batting department.
Mumbai's Rohit Sharma could be another contender in this regard.
Pragyan Ojha, the left-arm spinner, who was dumped by the selectors after the tour of the West Indies could come into the side as the third spinner after Harbhajan Singh and leggie Amit Mishra.
