"I have received an invitation from the President, who wants us to have tea with him," Sehwag said.

The 25-year-old will be among a host of dignitaries, drawn from all walks of life, who will have high tea and snacks with the President. The tea party is usually held on the magnificent lawns of Rashtrapati Bhavan. It will be the second time Sehwag will be meeting President Kalam within a year.

On August 29 last year, he visited Rashtrapati Bhavan to receive the Arjuna Award, the country's most prestigious sports prize.
