Swashbuckling Indian batsman Virender Sehwag, recuperating from a shoulder surgery, was shaping up well for the Champions Trophy, according to Indian skipper MS Dhoni.

 

The Indian captain though added that the dashing opener may not be ready for the tri-series in Sri Lanka in early September.

 

"He is improving everyday. He is putting in a lot of effort to get ready for Champions Trophy ," Dhoni said on Thursday.

 

On Sehwag's chances of playing in the tri-series in Sri Lanka starting on September 8, Dhoni hinted the batsman may have to sit out of the event.

 

"It's (tri-series) too soon, with just a few days to go," he said.

 

Sehwag injured his shoulder during the semifinal of the second edition of the IPL in South Africa and underwent a surgery for the Grade II lesion at a Nottingham hospital in June.

 

Dhoni said apart from Sehwag, there were no other injury issues and the players looked in perfect shape for a hectic schedule ahead.

 

"We just had a mid-term fitness test and we'll have a camp before the tri-series to get back into the groove and get ready for the long season ahead," Dhoni said.
