Sehwag back in Delhi Ranji team

Wicket-keeper Vijay Dahiya will lead a Delhi team, bolstered by the return of Virender Sehwag, in the Ranji Trophy Elite group semi-final against Tamil Nadu, which is to be played at at the Feroz Shah Kotla from April 25 to April 29.

The 15-member squad for the tie, announced by the Delhi and District Cricket Association on Tuesday, also includes opener Gautam Ghambir and off-spinner Sarandeep Singh, both of whom represented the country in the recently-concluded three-nation tournament at Dhaka.

Sehwag has not represented Delhi for most of the first-class season because of India's busy international schedule. The return of the incandescent strokeplayer for the high-profile clash will then be a great morale booster for the hosts.

The team: Vijay Dahiya (Captain), Akash Chopra, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Ghambir, Mithun Minhas, Sarandeep Singh, Varun Kumar, Rahul Sanghvi, Amit Bhandari, Sanjay Gill, Arun Singh, Pradeep Chawla, Siddharth Verma, NS Negi and Hardender Chaudhary.
