London: Vice captain Virender Sehwag has been ruled out of the ICC World T20 and will return to India for a shoulder injury immediately.
He will be replaced by Dinesh Karthik who had a very good season in the IPL for the Delhi Daredevils.
Sehwag had been on the sidelines ever since the team arrived in England and missed both of India's first two warm-up matches as well as the first game against bangaldesh.
In his absence Rohit Sharma has been opening the innings and has enjoyed a fair bit of success. Sehwag did bat in the nets on Tuesday but ended the session abruptly after feeling uncomfortable.
The decision to send Karthik will come in handy as he can bat both as an opener as well as in the middle order.
Karthik will also be the reserve wicket-keeper. There isn't one available at the moment and there are reports that MS Dhoni's back is giving him trouble and a second keeper would come in handy.
