Bangalore: Virender Sehwag and Zaheer Khan checked into the NCA in Bangalore on Monday, landing directly from Sri Lanka following India's 4-1 triumph in the ODI series. The rest of the side is still in Pallekele for the T20 game on Tuesday.

Sehwag, who sat out the final ODI at Pallekele, is nursing a mild lower back injury , but is expected to be fit for the series against New Zealand which starts August 23.

As preparation for that series, VVS Laxman, currently playing for Hyderabad against Mumbai in the Shafi Darashah tournament at Mysore, may also come in for training and fitness sessions at the NCA.
