DUBAI, June 21: India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has raised the possibility of a return to international cricket at September's World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka after undergoing cancer treatment.

Yuvraj, 30, has not appeared in any form of the game since last November when he was diagnosed with lung cancer.

He underwent chemotherapy in the United States before returning to India in April to continue his rehabilitation.

Speaking to the International Cricket Council's new magazine show, ICC Cricket 360, Yuvraj said he had begun light training in the hope of playing a part in a successful Indian campaign at Twenty20 cricket's showpiece event.

“”Hopefully I should be back by then,” Yuvraj said.

“I don't want to rush and I don't want to come back at 75 percent. I might take six months, I might take two months. So I don't know. But the day I feel 100 percent I surely will be back.”—Reuters
