New Delhi, May 17 (PTI) Virender Sehwag, who underwent a successful shoulder surgery in London last week, is expected to be fit before the important tour of England, according to the star player's childhood coach A.N. Sharma.
"He spoke to me after surgery and informed that it went off well. He is hopeful he will recover in time for the England series," Sharma said today.
When asked whether he would be able to bowl his off-breaks again, Sharma answered, "that completely depends on how quickly he gets the strength back in his shoulders. He will have an extensive rehabilitation programme at the NCA in Bangalore. Hopefully, everything will be fine."
Sehwag left the IPL campaign after playing 11 matches as Delhi Daredevils were out of the race for play-offs.
The injury he sustained is known as slap lesion or labrun tear (shoulder blade tear).
