India on Friday selected cancer survivor Yuvraj Singh for the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka, four months after he was treated for a rare germ-cell tumour between his lungs. The 30-year-old left-hander, one of the most flamboyant batsmen in world cricket, was named in a 15-man squad for the tournament to be played from Sept.18 to Oct.7. Yuvraj, who completed chemotherapy in the United States in April, has not played competitive cricket since two home Tests against the West Indies last November. He only recently began light training at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore.
