Yuvi wants to kickstart his career in whites …

Yuvraj Singh has played just 19 Test matches and as the first Test of the India-England series gets underway on Thursday at Lord's, he will be hoping to kickstart his career in whites.
The last time Yuvraj Singh played a Test match for India was over a year ago; at the Sabina Park in Kingston against the West Indies. Since then injuries and the team composition has come in the way.

So understandably, Yuvraj is keen to find a place in a packed middle order.On the tour of England, Yuvraj said, "I’m coming to England for the first time. Last time I was here, I had a broken finger, so I had to come back after the ODI’s. this is the first time I’m playing Test cricket over here. So, they are most important games of my life. You never know when you tour England again. So a very important tour."

With the likes of Rahul Dravid , Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar holding fort, Yuvraj will have to fight with VVS Laxman for the final spot and Laxman's experience in the seaming conditions means he is likely to get the nod.

"I have had a lot of disappointments in couple of years. But I also know the guys ahead of me have played a lot of Test cricket. They are more experienced," said Yuvraj.

The only other option for Yuvraj comes in case the team management drop the out-of-form Wasim Jaffer. Yuvraj being the middle order batsman is not the most likely candidate for the job.

When asked Yuvraj said, "That question has not rose yet, we will see before the Test match what the team management decides. I don’t know what to comment anything on that."
With scores like 31, 18 and 54 in the last two practise games it looks like a tough road ahead for Yuvraj Singh but who knows this was an opportunity that he should have grabbed with both hands and this tour could very well be a make or break situation for him.
