"Yuvi`s scan report shows that he is nearing complete recovery. For the first two years, the blood tests and scan needs to be done every three months. In the next three years, it will be every five months. He is a little bit weak but his rehab programme at the NCA is going pretty well," one of Yuvi`s close friends told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
Asked about his return to competitive cricket, the source said, "It`s difficult to pinpoint a particular date. He might just like to check himself out by playing in one of the Hot Weather tournaments in and around Delhi. But he will definitely play in the Ranji preparatory tournaments down south like the Buchi Babu Trophy or Moin-Ud Dowla Gold Cup."
The 30-year-old right-handed batsman seemed to be in good frame of mind if his tweets are to go by.
"Good day today Got my blood report and scan report !! I`m in good condition !! I`m so happy to lead a normal healthy life time to celebrate," Yuvraj had tweeted yesterday.
He said he played a short tennis-ball cricket with teammate Ishant Sharma who is also undergoing his rehabilitation programme at the NCA.
"Me and ishant playd a 4 over tennis bal match He hit me for 6 sixes but I won the game by hitting the 7th six of his last bal Hard luk ishi," Yuvraj had tweeted on June 1.
