‘I Can’t Wait To Step On The Field’

Mumbai: India cricketer Yuvraj Singh, who has recovered from cancer, says he can’t wait to step on the field for the two Twenty20s against New Zealand slated for September 8 and 11.

Yuvraj will be making his comeback to international cricket with the two Twenty20s after surviving cancer. The matches will also help him to test his fitness ahead of the Twenty20 World Cup in Sri Lanka from September 18. “I have been preparing for last couple of months in the National academy and have played a couple of matches along with team in the last four days and I can’t wait to step on the field because that is something which is going to be a huge day for me,” Yuvraj said, adding, “I have trained really hard it was not easy on my body after cancer and as I said I just can’t wait.”
Yuvraj said stepping on the field in the first Twenty20 against the Black Caps will be a momentous occasion in his life. “It’s going to be a huge moment in my life. I can’t wait for Sept 8 anymore. Every day I put a status 8 days, 7 days, I can’t wait for the excitement, I can’t wait to hold my bat, stand anywhere on the field. That is one environment that I am used to that is what I was doing for 15 to 17 years and when that was taken away from me it was a shock. How many hours how many minutes I just can’t wait honestly,” he said.
