Indian cricketer Yuvraj singh recovering from lung tumour!!1

Indian Cricket star Yuvraj Singh aka Yuvi  has been battling a golf-ball sized non-malignant lung tumour which first affected him during India’s triumphant World Cup campaign, his family revealed today.

Yuvraj, 29, who was declared man-of-the-tournament after the World Cup win at home in April, had opted out of the upcoming one-day series against the West Indies for health reasons. “During the World Cup, Yuvraj found himself constantly troubled by bouts of coughing and vomiting,” his mother Shabnam Singh said in a statement.
She said Yuvraj initially ignored the problem, assuming it was due to stress and did not want anything to distract him. “When the problem persisted after the World Cup, we decided to seek medical advice... scans then showed us that he was dealing with something serious. A golf-ball size lump (was) found over his left lung,” she said.

“Further reports have indicated that the tumour is non-malignant and non-threatening and can be treated through proper medication and therapy... Yuvraj is now in a much better state and on his way to a full recovery.”

The aggressive left-hand batsman and spin bowler had gone through “a very hard time” but was now focused on returning to the field, Shabnam added.

Yuvraj, who played in two of three Test matches against the West Indies this month, was not picked for next month’s Test series in Australia.
