Yuvraj Singh may not have featured during India's recent 1-0 Test series win against England but the all-rounder is set for a key role when his side take on their hosts in a seven-match one-day international campaign starting with Tuesday's day/night encounter at Hampshire's Rose Bowl ground.
India endured an even worse World Cup than England and fell at the first hurdle after group defeats against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. But during their 2-1 series win over South Africa in Belfast last month there were signs India were starting to find their one-day form.
Vital to that success at Stormont, India's first one-day series triumph outside the sub-continent since 2002 when they beat England in a final at Lord's, was Yuvraj's form. England, beaten 2-1 at home by the West Indies in a one-day series last month, did at least make it into the second round of the World Cup.
