Yuvraj Singh is no stranger to attention. On Saturday....... when he walks down the pavilion steps at Visakhapatnam (provided he is picked ), he can expect the kind of standing ovation and cheers normally reserved for Sachin Tendulkar at grounds all over the world. His faster than- expected return from germ cell cancer is an inspiration to millions and even if his contributions turn out to be underwhelming , his team-mates will savour his return to the dressing room.
Yuvraj has had no serious match practice, but those who've watched him train remarked that he was hitting the ball as hard as ever. His inclusion in the squad show that the selectors and team management value his presence, even with strings attached. he has just two games before the World Twenty20 later this month to prove that his selection was inspired. The danger, though, is that the hype will overawe the match itself, and India's captain MS Dhoni made a plea not to let Yuvraj's return distract the team.
