Sehwag, captain of the Delhi Daredevils franchise in the Indian Premier League, underwent an operation on his shoulder in London last week and has already been ruled out of India's tour of West Indies beginning June 4.

The flamboyant batsman, who has scored 7,694 Test runs and another 7,760 in one-dayers, said he was looking to regain full fitness inside eight weeks."I will return to London after six weeks for a check-up," Sehwag said. "I should be fit in six to eight weeks."Going by the rehabilitation programme designed for me I should be okay. I am already feeling the difference each day."
