"Hopefully I can play three or four practice games, and then if all goes well declare myself fit and be available for selection."

"It plays on you mentally, especially when fielding. You wonder whether the injury will recur"
Yuvraj Singh
The Press Trust of India reported that Yuvraj was expected to play in his first practice game in Mumbai on Friday.
Yuvraj's sports physio Mithun Joshi, who has been assisting the Punjab left-hander in his rehabilitation, has written a full report to the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
In it, he writes: "Yuvraj is in the final phase of his rehabilitation. He has been doing light fielding, functional agility and netting.
"I expect him to return to light Twenty20 match-style play on 19 January."
Yuvraj, who tore ligaments in his knee in late September, said he was not yet ready to put the problem completely behind him.
He said: "It plays on you mentally, especially when fielding. You wonder whether the injury will recur."
