Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh diagnosed with cancer

It was like the Indian cricket fans’ worst fears coming true as Yuvraj Singh has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy in the United States. The 30-year-old left-hander has been in US since last month for treatment. The tumour in his lungs, which had kept him out of action for a while now, has now been diagnosed as ‘malignant’ and Yuvraj is currently undergoing chemotherapy in the Cancer Research Institute in Boston. An Indian new agency has quoted his physiotherapist Dr Jatin Chaudhary, assuring that the ailment is curable and the batsman would be fit to resume cricket in May. His mother Shabnam Singh could not be reached while his former cricketer-father Yograj refused comments on the matter.
