Northamptonshire confirmed this afternoon world number one batsman Virender Sehwag is on course to play for them this summer.

The Indian's eye-catching signing was announced by Northamptonshire earlier this month, when they reported the deal was still subject to official agreement from the Board of Control for Cricket in India.

But in a statement today, the county's chief executive Mark Tagg announced a 'no objection certificate' has been received from the BCCI.

The statement added: "The certificate is subject to the standard clauses that state, should Sehwag be selected to play for India, this will take precedence over his county commitments."
