Sehwag not to play in the Twenty20 final

An injured Sehwag will have to sit out of the final of the Twenty20 cricket World Cup against arch-rivals Pakistan.

The Indian team management has announced that it will not include an injured Virender Sehwag in the team for the final of the Twenty20 cricket World Cup against arch-rivals Pakistan.

The Indian opener is nursing a groin injury and could not clear a fitness test before the high-voltage game. Sources had earlier said there was a 50-50 chance that he could take the field.

Sehwag picked the injury while batting in Saturday’s semifinal match against Australia, after which he had to take a runner.

The match will begin at 5.30 pm IST and is unlikely to be affected by weather conditions with the Met department predicting a bright and sunny day.

BJP raised infiltration concerns, but the Congress MP from Kishanganj dismissed them.
