We really appreciate the kind of effort he has put in. It is a great factor from Indian crickets point of view. It is great to have him in the team. With this kind of mixture we will have a great chance of winning the Twenty20 World Cup,” said Chairman of Selectors K. Srikkanth.

He's a 90 per cent chance that he won't be there, so we have got to look forward to considering how the next spinner gets on over there, Taylor said from Jamaica.

Taylor didn't confirm that his Central Districts coworker Tarun Nethula was that next spinner, with the team to travel to India motionless to be named, Sport24 information. 

But he rejected any view that Vettori was a used up force at test level.

Taylor said the left-arm spinner remains an integral part of the team and his bowling form did not worry him.

Vettori retired from international T20 cricket last year, in an effort to prolong his test career, but has made himself available for the upcoming T20 world cup in Sri Lanka.
