Discarded Indian opening batsman Virender Sehwag has suffered an injury setback ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The Delhi Daredevils star opener was ruled out of their IPL 6 opener against Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday, Indian media reported.
"He is having back spasm. His doctors advised him to take rest an not to join the side in Kolkata," a team official said.
It is another jolt for the Daredevils who will also miss last season's Purple cap holder Morne Morkel (25 wickets), who bowled Titans to a semifinal place in the Ram Slam T20 Challenge in the South Africa domestic cricket.
"They are playing semis tomorrow and if they make final (April 7) we may miss him for another game," coach Eric Simons told Prest Trust of India.
The Daredevils already lost England batsman Kevin Pietersen who has been ruled out for the entire IPL season owing to a knee injury.
They will also not have the services of big hitting New Zealander Jesse Ryder who is recuperating after going into a coma following a brutal assault at a Christchurch bar.
