Tendulkar underwent a surgery recently and will miss the July 30 to August 9 tri-series which also features hosts Sri Lanka and the West Indies. Sourav will miss the meet unless Justice Albie Sachs overturns the six-ODI ban.

Sehwag said during his brief interaction with new coach Greg Chappell, the 56-year-old former Australian captain stressed on the importance of skill and fitness if one had to play a long innings.

On the team’s expectations from Chappell, Sehwag said it primarily relates to planning, strategy and also an attitude of treating all members of the team alike irrespective of their seniority. Sehwag, attending the physical fitness and conditioning camp at the National Cricket Academy, said he is focusing on fitness and losing some weight.
