The 15-man squad for the ODI and T20I series against England, starting from the 15th of January in Pune was announced on Friday. The biggest talking point was the inclusion of Yuvraj Singh, who was recalled to the ODI side after a gap of three years and also found a place in the T20I side.
Revealing the reason behind picking the 2011 World Cup Player of the Tournament the Chairman of the selection committee MSK Prasad said he was selected based on his performances in the domestic circuit and added they appreciated that fact and selected him in the squad.
“We should appreciate the way Yuvi has played in domestic cricket. He played some fantastic innings, he got a double hundred, he got 180 in the Lahli wicket. We appreciate it and have given him a chance," Prasad said.
