Yuvraj selected

INDIA has named Yuvraj Singh in its squad for the first two tests against England, marking the all-rounder's return to the five-day game following treatment for cancer. Yuvraj, who will turn 31 next month, underwent chemotherapy in the United States for a rare form of lung cancer earlier this year. He returned to international cricket in September in a Twenty20 match against New Zealand before playing in the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka. The swashbuckling left-hander smashed a double hundred in his return to first-class cricket last month. Yuvraj, who played the last of his 37 tests in November 2011, will be the favorite to seal the No. 6 slot in the batting order when the first of four tests against England begins in Ahmedabad on November 15.
