SEHWAG OUT OF THE TOURNAMENT



There has been a high drama at Nottingham, where India is scheduled to play its final league encounter against Ireland on Wednesday, when Indian team skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni clearly denied to answer any questions related to Virender Sehwag's injury.


"I am not going to answer any questions related to players' fitness", said Dhoni when asked about latest on Sehwag's injured shoulder Dhoni and media contingent engage in a verbal duel over Sehwag's issue when he was repeatedly asked by the media over Virender Sehwag. Dhoni clearly stated that any information related to Sehwag will come up to you through BCCI. Meanwhile the BCCI named Sehwag's Delhi Daredevils' teammate Dinesh Karthik as his replacement in India's 15-member squad after he has been ruled out of the Twenty20 World Cup with a shoulder injury. D Karthik is expected to arrive in London ahead of India's first Super Eights match against the West Indies at Lord's on Friday. Sehwag had sustained the injury during the Indian Premier League and missed both the warm-up matches and the game against Bangladesh. Sehwag did come to the nets and batted for only 12 balls before retiring to the dressing room earlier in the day. He also complained about his recurrent pain in the right shoulder to captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and coach Gary Kirsten. Sehwag may need a surgery to his injured shoulder and will return home after consulting medical experts in England, the BCCI said.
