Sehwag fit despite ribs blow
Saturday, 26 February 2011
BANGALORE, Feb 25 (AFP): India's in-form opener Virender Sehwag will be fit for the crucial World Cup clash with England despite receiving a painful blow to the ribs in the nets Friday.
The hard-hitting opener was struck by a delivery from a net bowler and did not bat again.
"A thorough examination has been done and a scan is not required. There is no major worry and he is fit enough to play," Indian team manager Ranjib Biswal said.
India, who meet England in the day-night match Sunday, defeated Bangladesh by 87 runs in their opener in Dhaka last Saturday.
