Dashing India opener Virender Sehwag exuded high confidence that he would be fully fit for the seven-match one-day international series at home against Australia,commencing in Baroda on October 25.
“I am not yet fit for international cricket as can’t throw (the ball) from the boundary line. But I would be fully fit for the series against Australia,” said Sehwag here in presence of the BCCI chief selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth.
Sehwag also said that he would play in the Champions League Twenty20 tournament for the Delhi Daredevils after leading the Rest of India side against Ranji Trophy champion Mumbai in the five-day Irani Cup tie,beginning on October 1 in Nagpur.
“I will play in the Champions League and in the Irani Cup match. There I’m captaining the side and would be fielding in the slips or other close-in positions,” he said on sideline of a promotional event.
The flamboyant batsman,who would turn 31-years-old on October 20,has not played international cricket since he suffered a shoulder injury during the second edition of Indian Premier League in May.
Sehwag,who has two Test triple centuries,missed India’s short visit to the West Indies,the triangular ODI series in Sri Lanka and also the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy in South Africa.
