Yuvraj Singh, who has started training after recuperating from a rare
germ cell cancer, was today named in India's 30-member list of
probables for the September-October World Twenty20 Championships in
Sri Lanka.
Seasoned off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, 32, who has been on the
sidelines for a quite some time due to poor form, has also been
included in the squad.
A few promising youngsters such as all-rounder Mandeep Singh and
wicketkeeper-batsman Naman Ojha and domestic veterans such as batsman
Ambati Rayudu were picked in the list announced by the BCCI secretary
Sanjay Jagdale.
Paceman Laxmipathy Balaji, who last played an international match in
2009, was also part of the provisional list which will be pruned to a
15-member squad at a later stage.
Yuvraj, who started practicing in Bangalore's National Cricket Academy
after undergoing chemotherapy in the United States earlier this year,
was targetting a return to international cricket with the World
Twenty20 Championships.
