India have announced their 15-man squad for the 2015 ICC World Cup, starting from February 14 in Australia and New Zealand.

MS Dhoni, who recently announced his retirement from Test cricket, will lead the side as India – the defending champions – will start the tournament against arch-rivals Pakistan on February 15 at the Adelaide Oval.
