"I have back spasms. I need some rest. I have never kept my team management in the dark as far as fitness is concerned. My injury is open for everyone to see," Sehwag was quoted as saying.
However, this flies in the face of what the chief selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth said yesterday. He told a TV channel last night that Sehwag had a shoulder injury, while the batsman claims to be troubled by "back spasms".
