Virender Sehwag set to miss One Day Series against England - Cricket News Update
Indian explosive opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739, is set to miss the One Day Series against England, which will commence after the end of the ongoing 4th nPower Test Series.
It is expected that the player who joined the squad at the end of the 2nd Test, will take no further part in the series, as the batsman has not fully recovered from a shoulder injury picked in the fourth edition of the Indian Premier League.
The injury kept the player out of the teams preceding tour of the Caribbean, as well the first two nPower Test matches.
"The shoulder injury has not completely healed. He will return after the Test series," a BCCI source revealed.
Also the source confirmed that the National Cricket Academy's physiotherapist, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nitin-Gopal-Patel-c79732, had confirmed Ashish Kaushik, the current physio on tour, that Sehwag is also feeling pain in this left ear, due to exposure from a loud sound, before joining the
team.
"Sehwag has some visual and balancing problems, which persist," the source said.
It has been a turbulent month or so for the Men in Blue in England, where the team has been ravaged with injury to key personnel.
The tour began with pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364 hampered their chances of defending the No.1 crown.
With hopes all tied on the explosive hitting opener to make a triumphant comeback at Edgbaston, Sehwag failed to live up to the hype as he was dismissed on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-King-c41197 Pair.
His bow in the fourth and final installment was hardly of note, as he was again dismissed in the first over of the match for 8. Following on, the player could manage 33 before being superbly cleaned by English spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501.
The injuries to main players have again raised questions regarding the amount of Cricket played by the Indian Players. Many, like Sehwag have aggravated their injuries during their stints with their IPL franchises.
However, the devastating implications from such tournaments have been highlighted from the team’s mediocre preparations, for undoubtedly, the most looked forward series of the year.
Though a series whitewash is well on the cards, but in the longer run, it certainly could be a blessing in disguise for BCCI and team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, to look closely on what Cricket (IPL or Tests) to focus on.
