ICC yet to approve Karthik as replacement
The International Cricket Council is yet to approve Dinesh Kathik's name as a replacement for an injured Virender Sehwag.
The ICC is yet to approve because of a major procedural gaffe on the part of BCCI.
Karthik named to replace Sehwag
The BCCI submitted physio Nitin Patel's report instead of a doctor's to seek a replacement for Sehwag, who has been ruled out of the T20 World Cup because of a shoulder injury.
But the ICC has made it clear that it will clear Karthik's name only after receiving a doctor's report citing Sehwag's injury, it has been learnt.
Sehwag carried a Grade I shoulder injury to England and missed the warm-up games as well as the lung opener against Bangladesh on June 6 and was ruled out from the tournament on Tuesday.
Sehwag had suffered the injury during the semi-final clash in the IPL tournament against Deccan Chargers in South Africa on May 21.
With crucial players like Chris Gayle, Virender Sehwag, Daniel Vettori and Kevin Pietersen nursing injuries, is the slam-bang version of cricket starting to take its toll on the players? You know where to write in with your thoughts. Write in to us at: fanspeak@espnstar.co.in
