"I will not disclose it (if Sehwag is going to play in the middle order)," he told reporters when asked if Sehwag will bat in the middle order at pre-match press conference.
"You will come to know tomorrow," India A Coach Lalchand Rajput interjected.
On Sehwag's injury, Pujara said he looks okay and a final call will be taken later. Asked whether Sehwag will go for a scan, the Indian captain said the team needs to speak to the physio about it.
Commenting on the pitch, Pujara said it looks a good and should help fast bowlers. "The outfield is very nice too," he added.
Asked whether he would play three fast bowlers, Pujara said he would play them if there is dampness in the wicket due to rains.
"We will take a call tomorrow morning. See how the wicket looks in the morning. There might be a bit of rain. It looks cloudy," he said.
On the opening options in the squad, Pujara said the team has an option in the form of young batsman from Kerala.
