Yuvaraj set to return to the Indian Team in T-20s

Dashing batsman Yuvraj Singh is likely to be picked in the Indian squad for the World Twenty20 Championship when the selectors choose the 15-strong team in Mumbai on Friday.
Yuvraj, the man of the tournament in the 2011 World Cup, had last played for India in November 2011 before being diagnosed with a rare germ cell cancer.

The World Twenty20 Championship event will be played in Sri Lanka from September 18 to October 7. According to sources, the selectors plan to bring the left hander back in the national team through the shortest format of the game.
Yuvraj will also be playing two T20 games against New Zealand at home on September 8 and 11, it was learnt.
Officially, Yuvraj's fitness report will be tabled at the selection meeting and the selectors will pick him only after an all-clear on this front. But sources said his fitness has already been assessed and he has been deemed fit.
After his treatment, Yuvraj has been working out at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore and has also played a few practice matches recently. NCA sources said he has done enough to dispel any doubts about whether he has adequate stamina.
