If we are to have a chance in the champions trophy either Mahela/Sanga or Dilshan have to dropped. Probably Mahela or Dilshan have to fight for the openers berth with kausal Perera (?). If Chandimal and Sanga all play we will have 3 wicket keepers in the side.
It is better if someone like Jeewan plays to strengthen the bowling and lower order batting.
Having said that sometimes players like the aforementioned seniors come back strong after a good rest. Also Champions trophy is in England and playing IPL in India cannot be of much use or practice for playing 50 over cricket in England.
@silva i think it counts in playoffs too! Heard the commentators saying only Perera, Steyn and Watson have the chance to add more points to their tally since Gayle and Kallis have no more matches! So...
Yup still i feel they are not good enough team even they win this year IPL. They dont have a complete side to win any team any day. Their bowling might have brought them this far.

Perera=Watson(not all the way, but close enough)
Mishra=Warne(again close enough)
Steyn=Sohail Tanvir
Dhawan=Yusuf Pathan
Sammy=Hodge
????= Captain Warne
