Explosive opener ruled out ICC World Twenty20

India's ICC World Twenty20 plans have been hit by news explosive opener Virender Sehwag will miss the tournament. Sehwag has been ruled out the competition, which takes place between April 30-May 16 in the Caribbean, after suffering a shoulder injury. Sehwag had played for the Delhi Daredevils in their final IPL game on Sunday, but he has now been told he faces a month on the sidelines. A statement from the BCCI read: "Sehwag has sustained a shoulder injury and been advised to rest for three to four weeks." Sehwag's place in the squad will go to in-form Murali Vijay after the ICC gave clearance to the change. The 26-year-old from Chennai has previously played in five Tests and one ODI for India.
