Sehwag out of Asia Cup with shoulder injury

Virender Sehwag, the India opener, will miss the Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka with a hamstring injury. Ranjib Biswal, the team manager, said Sehwag suffered the injury during India's three-wicket win over Pakistan at Dambulla on Saturday and has been ordered to rest. Sehwag was to return home yesterday, Biswal said. Dinesh Karthik is tipped to take Sehwag's place. Sehwag also missed the World Twenty20 this year in the West Indies due to a shoulder injury. * Agencies
