Because the World Cup always includes at least one player from each Continental region. Hence one North American, one South American, and one from Australia/Oceania and in this case two from Africa (who are actually good players). The tournament has always been set up that way.

How did Kanak Jha find a place here. Where is Harimoto !!!

Kanak Jha won the North American Cup as David Powell won the Oceania Cup as Tsuboi won the Latin American Cup as Aruna won the African Cup. Harimoto did not play the Asian Cup where Mizutani and Niwa played and while he could have gotten a special invite, I suspect the Belgians gave that to Nuytinck.

Why lgy not fzd?can anyone please explain
Because LGY won the Asian Cup, which is the continental qualifier. Since China already had the World Champion, the only way FZD goes is if Ma Long withdraws. He is the automatic replacement if that happens since he came second in the Asian Cup.
