Star athletes Anju Bobby George and K M Binu were among the 40 probables who were on Saturday named by the Athletics Federation of India for next year's World Championships.
The AFI announced 19 men and 21 women in 10 disciplines for the World Meet to be held in Helsinki, Finland in August.
The probables would attend a camp to be held in SAI South Centre, Bangalore from November 25.
The Federation also brought out a separate list of 134 athletes (74 men, 60 women) to prepare for the Asian Athletic Championships and Asian Grand Prix Series.
For the Helsinki meet, AFI has identified 800m, 4x400m relay, shot put and discus throw for men while pinning hopes on women in six disciplines.
Besides Binu, the ten probables of the relay team includes the members of the Indian team which narrowly missed the bus to the Athens Olympics, AFI Secretary Lalit Bhanot said in a press release here.
In the double-lap race, AFI has named Joshmon Mathew and Ghamanda Ram (Jr) of Services and P S Primesh of Railways.
Anil Kumar (ONGC) and Sukhbir Singh (Railways) would look to face the challenge in discus.
The four shot putters shortlisted for the camp include 31-year-old Bahadur Singh, who put up a pathetic show in Athens fouling all his three attempts in the qualifying round.
The women campers for the longer relay include K M Beenamol, four discus throwers and three for heptathlon.
Discus thrower Neelam J Singh and heptathlete J J Sobha, who braved a knee injury to complete the event in Athens, are part of the list.
