Yuvraj Singh keen to make a Test comeback – Cricket News Update
Having made a successful comeback to international cricket after battling with cancer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364, is now keen to find a place in the Test side for the upcoming series against England.
The four-match Test series between India and England starts next month at Ahmedabad, with the Men in Blue looking to avenge their last year’s whitewash in England.
The left-handed batsman from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 in September. The stroke-player contributed with both bat and ball in the
just-finished http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2012 as well, although his side failed to qualify for the semi-finals.
Apart from playing a couple of important cameos, the 30-year-old cricketer picked up eight wickets in the tournament, filling the role of a fifth bowler in the Indian side.
The middle-order batsman is now all set to represent North Zone in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Duleepsinhji-c71867 Trophy, looking to score some runs and catch the eyes of the selectors ahead of the all-important battle against the Poms.
Yuvraj is still not hundred percent fit and may take a little more time to achieve the level of fitness required at the ultimate stage of the game; however, the left-hander is confident about doing well in the 5-day format as
well, although it can be more taxing for the players.
"Duleep Trophy matches will be very important for me as it will be a good preparation before http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 tour. I am looking forward to these matches and if I perform consistently I can get back into the Test team," he said.
"It will be difficult playing the longer version of the game but I am confident I'll last the duration."
The star-cricketer feels that the Indian side are in need of an all-rounder in Test cricket and claims that he can fit into that role, with his orthodox slow left-arm spin.
"I am also going to focus on my bowling too and look forward to make it to the Indian team as an all-rounder, not just a specialist batsman," the dashing player mentioned.
