The two limited overs tournaments are being held this season prior to the longer format tournaments like Ranji Trophy to enable the selectors to have a wider choice of players before finalising the 30-strong probables' list for the ICC World Cup scheduled in Australia and New Zealand.

All the participating teams in the World Cup have to name their list of probables two months in advance before pruning it to the final squad one month before cricket's showpiece event's commencement on February 14, 2015.
