"Yuvraj has been declared fit, so he makes a comeback. And all of us know, if he gets going, he can singlehandedly win matches," chairman of selectors Krishnamachari Srikkanth told reporters after the meeting. The two T20 Internationals against New Zealand, slated for thefirst week of September, will be a test for Yuvraj who underwent chemotherapy in the US earlier this year.
