Sehwag ruled Out from T20, Karthik is replacement

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.

Bangladesh eye another upset over India

Bangladesh are not overawed by holders India and captain Mohammed Ashraful said they would aim to repeat their 2007 ODI World Cup win when they take on Mahendra Singh Dhoni's side in their Group A opener of the ICC World Twenty20 on Saturday.
Bangladesh stunned India in the 2007 World Cup in the Caribbean to plot an early exit of their neighbors from the quadrennial extravaganza and Ashraful said a repeat on Saturday could give them a Super Eights berth in the Twenty20 World Cup.
"Our first goal is the Super Eights but if we have a good start against India, it will give us the confidence of going far in the tournament," Ashraful said.
Bangladesh, who are clubbed with India and Ireland with the top two teams from each group progressing to the Super Eight stage, had also beaten the West Indies in the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 in South Africa in 2007.
Ashraful was not unduly perturbed by the two defeats in as many days in the warm-up matches, first a 38-run loss to formidable Australia on Monday and then a six-wicket defeat at the hands of Sri Lanka on Tuesday.
"This is a format in which any side can beat the other. It's not a lottery but everything depends on how a team plays on that particular day," Ashraful said.
