The 29-year-old left-handed batsman was diagnosed with a non-malignant tumour in his left lung, reports of which were revealed by Yuvraj’s mother, Shabnam in a formal statement on Saturday.
Yuvraj used the social networking site twitter, to reach out to his fans in India and across the globe to confirm that he is being treated for it and will be returning to competitive cricket sooner than later.
“Overwhelmed with ur love n support. I am absolutely fine, just need to get match fitness and training will be back soon,” tweeted Yuvi on Sunday.
Since being adjudged as the Man of the Tournament in the high profile Cricket World Cup earlier this year, the prolific middle-order batsman has been troubled by health issues. Since then, he has played just one Test match against England, this summer.
The stylish batsman underwent a detailed medical examination which revealed that he has a golf-ball sized lump over his left lung.
“Reports and scans then showed us that Yuvraj was dealing with something really serious. A golf-ball size lump was found over his left lung and doctors advised us to go in for more detailed scans,” Yuvraj’s mother Shabnam said in a statement on Saturday.
“When he returned from England…detailed scanning, and biopsy reports indicated that the tumour is non-malignant and non-threatening and can be treated through proper medication and therapy,” she added further.
She told the media that her son is now much better and is on his way to a full recovery.
She also added that Yuvi did not want to rush his return to the game and wants to recover completely and be 100 percent fit before taking the bat. She however, said that participating in the ODI series against Australia is in his plans.
“Now his entire focus is to re-gain his full fitness. He is already preparing himself to play the one-day series in Australia. He doesn’t want to rush things, he wants to be hundred percent fit before resuming his cricket for India.”
