MUMBAI (Reuters) - With five months to go before next year's World Twenty20 at home, former champions India's search for an enforcer in the lower middle order shows no sign of ending anytime soon.

India mostly play one-off matches in the shortest format of the game and are ranked sixth in the world, just behind South Africa who won the first two games of a three-match series with the final Twenty20 abandoned due to a wet outfield in Kolkata.
