NEW DELHI — Cancer survivor Yuvraj Singh has been given a chance to play for India in the upcoming four-Test home series against England after being picked for a three-day warm-up game in Mumbai next Tuesday. Yuvraj underwent three cycles of chemotherapy in the US in March for a rare germ cell cancer near his lungs, and was recalled by India last month before playing in the World Twenty20. On Wednesday, he was named in the 14-man India A squad led by Suresh Raina. Squad: Murali Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan, Abhinav Mukund, Ajinkya Rahane, Yuvraj Singh, Manoj Tiwary, Suresh Raina (captain), Robin Bisht, Ashok Maneria, Wriddhiman Saha, Irfan Pathan, Vinay Kumar, Parvinder Awana, Ashok Dinda. Pybus quits Englishman Richard Pybus has quit as coach of Bangladesh's cricket team over contract differences just five months into the job, officials said Wednesday. Pybus, 48, told the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) of his decision Tuesday night, just weeks before the team takes on the West Indies in a home series starting in November. In an interview with ESPNcricinfo, he said the BCB wanted him to spend 320 days a year with the Bangladesh team, a commitment he was not ready to make because of family reasons. The Bangladesh Cricket Board has, meanwhile, reportedly agreed to send its cricket team to Pakistan for three ODIs and two Twenty20s in December. The Daily Jang newspaper said new BCB president Nazmul Hasan will chair a meeting Wednesday after which the tour was to be announced. — Agencies
