Singh in World T20 squad

New Delhi - All-rounder Yuvraj Singh is in India's squad for the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh next month despite not finding favour from the selectors in recent one-day internationals.

The 32-year-old left-hander, famous for clubbing six sixes off an over from England pace bowler Stuart Broad during the inaugural World Twenty20 in South Africa in 2007, has not been picked for the preceding Asia Cup one-day tournament also in Bangladesh.

Suresh Raina too was named in the Twenty20 squad on Tuesday while being dropped for the Asia Cup.

Pace bowler Ishant Sharma failed to find a place in either squad.

The Asia Cup will be held from Feb. 25 to March 8, while the World Twenty20 is scheduled from March 16-April 6.

Yes! Siya will only be 36 at the next World Cup. He can make it!

No! I think the smart thing to do is start again with a younger skipper ...

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
