World Cup: Virender Sehwag skips practice for second day running

India's opener Virender Sehwag has missed practice for a second consecutive day after he picked up a knee injury during his scintillating 175-run knock in the World Cup opener against Bangladesh.                                           

Sehwag had suffered the injury on Saturday, which left him requiring a runner, during the 140-ball knock when he scored his highest one-day score.                                           

Sehwag did not join his team mates in Bangalore on Wednesday for the batting and fielding session.                                           

"It was an optional practice session today. He will definitely join us from tomorrow," India team manager Ranjib Biswal told Reuters from Bangalore by phone.                                           

Sachin Tendulkar, who underwent an MRI scan on his left knee on Sunday night, was back at training.                                           

India, who beat Bangladesh by 87 runs in their first match, will take on England in Bangalore on Sunday.
