"The thing (with Chappell) was that, whatever you shared with him, it was promptly disclosed to the media and selectors. He hurt the trustu00a0... I wasn't comfortable with him," Sehwag said earlier this week.
Reportedly, Sehwag and the Aussie were involved in an argument on the 2006-07 South Africa tour.
It was an eventful tour where India were thrashed in the one-day series before winning the first Test at Johannesburg thanks to S Sreesanth's pace bowling exploits but lost the the second and third Tests at Durban and Cape Town respectively.
Sehwag was expected to be dropped for the third Test but was played in the middle order while Wasim Jaffer and Dinesh Karthick opened the India innings.

About Sehwag's allegation of sharing information with selectors, Chappell said, "You can check with Kiran More." More, the former India stumper was chairman of selectors for a good part of Chappell's coaching tenure.
Not with RCA too
Chappell wants to cut off all ties with India.
"I am now not going to be associated with the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) too," he said while signing off. Chappell is now Head Coach of the Cricket Australia Centre of Excellence (COE).
West Indian psychologist Rudi Webster too came under criticism from Sehwag, "I am one who believes that if you open up your thoughts to someone you trust, you feel lighter and thus better. But I found that Webster couldn't keep things confidential."
Dr Webster responded from Jamaica, "My life has taken a new turn and I do not wish nor can I afford to get involved in any public controversies."
