India's opening batsman Virender Sehwag will return back to home due to his shoulder injury and he will not play in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup.

BCCI senior officials said that Sehwag will return to India after consulting medical experts in England.

Sehwag injured his shoulder during a match in the Indian Premier League (IPL-2) while playing for Delhi Daredevils and could not recover from that injury.
