Even if the International Cricket Council insist, India's dashing batsman Virender Sehwag will not sport a jersey number in the ongoing World Cup.
An ICC spokesperson said that they may bring up the matter with the team management again.
"I don't want to use a number," Sehwag stressed at the Indian team hotel yesterday. "My mother had consulted some astrologers, who gave her some numbers which I could use, but I told her that I don't have a number when I play Test cricket, so why should I have one when I play one-day cricket," he said.
Sehwag has full support of team manager Ranjib Biswal. "If Sehwag could play the ICC World T20 without a jersey number, I don't see why he cannot do that in another ICC tournament ufffd the 50-50 World Cup. And if the ICC wanted him to wear one during this tournament, they should have informed us earlier," said Biswal.
