Vadodara: The Indian squad for the upcoming cricket World Cup in the Caribbean would be chosen on February 11 or 12.

"The selectors, who are to meet in Mumbai on February 3 to pick the team for the Sri Lanka series, will decide on the date and the venue, either Rajkot or Mumbai," Cricket Board secretary Niranjan Shah said today.

That means the selectors have three more matches, the last of the West Indies series here on Wednesday and two of the four-match Sri Lanka series, to assess the players before making up their mind on the final combination.

The first two ODIs against Sri Lanka are to be held at Kolkata (Feb 8) and Rajkot (Feb 11) and the final 15-member World Cup squad needs to be sent to the International Cricket Council on or before Feb 13.

The combination chosen for the first two ODIs against the Lankans, who would play the last two matches of the series in Goa (Feb 14) and Vishakapatnam (Feb 17), would very much be the squad for the World Cup to be held in March-April.

Meanwhile, the BCCI was yet to prepare a final draft for the contracts to be issued to the players for their perusal. "We are still having discussions on the final draft," Shah said.

The BCCI had indicated earlier that the contracts, which are overdue, would be ready before the team departs for the World Cup.

The team is slated to land in the Caribbeans on March 1.
