The Indian team has received a major boost ahead of their practice match against Bangladesh. Yuvraj Singh has joined the team after recovering from illness. He missed the game against New Zealand because of the injury.
“There are no major health concerns and Yuvraj is recuperating well, to the satisfaction of the medical team,” BCCI official said. Inclusion of Yuvraj will boost the Indian team in its bid to prepare for the Champions Trophy.

The Indian Cricket Team will start its campaign against archrivals Pakistan, followed by games against Sri Lanka and South Africa. The high-octane game will take place on July 4 at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
However, if Yuvraj fails to regain the match fitness, he might be replaced by Dinesh Karthik in the playing XI. This will push MS Dhoni up the order, and Karthik will have to play as a finisher at number 5 or 6.
