Time to celebrate folks as our flamboyant left-hander Yuvraj Singh is set to make a comeback on field soon. As we know that he has recovered from cancer and recently made a surprise comeback on Wednesday to India's 30-member preliminary squad for the Twenty20 World Cup.

The tournament is beginning in Sri Lanka on September 18. The Man of the Series of the ODI World Cup in India was diagnosed with a rare germ cell cancer and underwent chemotherapy treatment at the Cancer Research Institute in Boston.

Since then Yuvraj has made giant strides towards regaining full fitness by training at Bangalore's National Cricket Academy. The Srikkanth-led committee picked the 30-year-old in a 30-man preliminary squad for the World Twenty20 to be played in the Island Nation from September 18 to October 7.

"I think a guy who has won the World Cup for us deserves to come back," chief selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth had stated. Yuvraj, who has not played competitive cricket since the two home Tests against the West Indies in November, only recently began training at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore.

The squad for the biennial tournament, the inaugural edition of which was won by India in 2007, must be finalised by mid-August.

And here we are hoping that Yuvraj does succeed in making his place in the finals! Prayer guys and it will surely be answered!
