Virender Sehwag is out of the ICC World Twenty20. The Indian vice-captain will return home from England since his injury – a grade one tear in the right shoulder – has still not healed.
“Sehwag batted for two overs at the nets on Tuesday and felt some pain in his shoulder,” revealed Indian team manager V. Chamundeswarnath at Trent Bride on Tuesday.
Although the Indian team management refused to commit itself on the aggressive opener’s place in the squad during a stormy pre-match press conference, a BCCI release confirmed that Sehwag would indeed be flying back.
The statement said, “Virender Sehwag has been ruled out of the ongoing ICC World Twenty20 due to a shoulder injury. He will return to India after consulting medical experts in England.”
Wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik will be Sehwag’s replacement. Karthik was in fine form with the willow for Delhi Daredevils during IPL Season-II in South Africa.
