Yuvi ruled out of ODI tri-series, lung tumour yet to heal

January 13, 2012 16:39

Just in: Yuvraj Singh has been ruled out of the ODI tri-series vs Australia and New Zealand as his lung tumour has not yet healed.

Yuvraj was diagnosed with a non-malignant tumour in his left lung, which is why he had opted out of the ODI cricket series against West Indies. Yuvraj has been troubled by health issues since the World Cup, which India won, and has played just one Test match in England after that.

His mother Shabnam said in a statement that reports and scans then showed that Yuvraj was dealing with something really serious. "A golf-ball size lump was found over his left lung and doctors advised us to go in for more detailed scans. The initial reports suggested that Yuvraj had what in medical terms, is called a abnormal tumor called lymphoma over his left lung. The danger was, we were told, that it could be malignant," she added.
