₹ Virender Sehwag informs Indian cricket board of his desire to play lower down the batting order. ₹ Virender Sehwag has informed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that he would like to bat in the middle order as against in the opening position from where he lost his place in the Indian team after the second Test against Australia at Hyderabad last March.A source informed SUNDAY MiD DAY on Saturday that Sehwag has intimated the Board about his preference, but the Sandeep Patil- led selection committee picked him in the India ‘A’ squad for the second and third four-day games against West Indies ‘A’ as an opening batsman. Sehwag’s middle order desire has the backing of Test player turned commentator and writer Sanjay Manjrekar, who wrote in ESPN Cricinfo recently: “It’s a desire that he (Sehwag) seems to have held forever as a Test batsman. I have held the view that for a natural middle-order batsman, he served India amazingly well as an opener when they desperately needed one, so how about granting him that wish before his career finishes?”
