Ready for NZ?
Yuvraj is likely to get fit before the home series against New Zealand. "Yuvraj is an asset and no one would want to see him rush his comeback. He knows that Indian team still needs his services and won't rush his comeback. The healing might take considerable amount of time, may be upto six months. Therefore, ideally one can expect his comeback when New Zealand are in India, in August this year," a source told the news agency.
