“Sehwag has sustained a shoulder injury and been advised to rest for three to four weeks,” the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) said in a statement on Tuesday.
The batsman, who has been struggling for form in the Indian Premier League, played in Delhi Daredevils's final game in the competition on Sunday.
Sehwag has been replaced by in-form Murali Vijay for the April 30-May 16 Twenty20 World Cup after gaining clearance from tournament organisers.
India, champions in 2007, are in Group C with South Africa and Afghanistan.
