Chris Gayle Return to the West Indies ODI Squad Upcoming England Tour

The Chris Gayle return to the West Indies squad is likely to be delayed after fresh doubts emerged over his availability for the ODI leg of the upcoming England tour, pouring cold water over the hard-earned resolution reached between him and the West Indies Cricket Board by the Caribbean Community.

And the earlier this month Gayle had sent a request to Ernest Hilaire in WICB chief executive, asking the board if he would be selected for the ODI leg of the England tour in June for this was to help him clarify his availability for Somerset to he had signed as an overseas player for the summer.

The West Indies tour of England and Somerset have five Friends Life t20 games scheduled during the time West Indies play three ODIs and a T20I against England and the i would appreciate if I could be informed whether I will be contracted for the West Indies Team for England Tour before I give my commitment to Somerset, Gayle said.

Whatmore says no security problems in Pakistan

Pakistan's cricket coach Dav Whatmore Monday voiced disappointment at Bangladesh postponing their tour, saying he had felt no security concerns during his two months in the country.

Last week Bangladesh agreed to visit Pakistan for an ODI Series and a Twenty20 international but the tour was delayed on Thursday by a Dhaka high court ruling over security fears.

Pakistan had hoped the short tour would help restore international cricket in the country, suspended in the wake of deadly terror attacks on the Sri Lankan team bus in Lahore in March 2009.

"Like everyone else in Pakistan, I am also disappointed" Whatmore said. "We were close to choosing the team but now Bangladesh not coming everything is finished which is a bit disappointing."

"From my personal view, having born in Sri Lanka and lived through the civil war there, and now staying in Lahore I have faced no security problems," he said.

"I have not seen very many areas in Lahore and if I know some other areas I would like to go there, but I have faced no problems here," he said.

Whatmore, 57, played 7 Tests for Australia and as coach guided Sri Lanka to their famous victory in the 1996 World Cup.

He also coached Bangladesh to the Super Six Stages of the 2007 World Cup in the West Indies.

Under Whatmore, Pakistan last month won the Asia Cup, also involving world champions India.

Yuvraj will try to return the field in 2 months time

"I am thankful to god that I got my life back," said Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh in his first media interaction after undergoing treatment for a rare germ cell cancer, After two months he will return the field.

Back in the country after spending more than two months in the United States and London to recuperate from a malignant tumour between his lungs, Yuvraj addressed the media to talk about the "toughest" phase of his life.

The 30-year-old batting all-rounder, who was adjudged man of the tournament at last year's World Cup before the ailment put a stop on his cricket, coughed a bit during the interaction during which his Indian doctor Nitesh Rohtagi was by his side.

"I am thankful to god that I got back my life. Everybody faces such issues. I am very happy and thankful to everyone that I am out of it," said the flamboyant left-hander, who admitted to that there were times when he broke down.

Asked when it would be possible for him to return to action, a smiling Yuvraj said not before a couple of months at least.

"All my fans want me to come back soon, I am sure you people will understand that my body will take time. I will have to take care of my health. I will try to return as soon as possible, in the last two months. I have been through a very tough time," he said.

Yuvraj singh to return to India

Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh, who is recuperating in London after undergoing chemotherapy for a rare germ cell cancer between his lungs, will return to the country on Monday.

"finally the day has come! i am going home tomorrow! Can’t wait, excited to see my friends and family ...see you india!! mera bharat mahan!" Yuvraj tweeted.

But the 30-year-old batsman is not expected to play for a few more months.

After being diagnosed with the disease, Yuvraj underwent three sessions of chemotherapy and was discharged from his hospital in the United States last month.

He is expected to announce his future plans and details about treatment that he underwent after returning to the country.

Recently, Yuvraj met Sachin Tendulkar in London who had gone there to get a check up on a toe injury.

Sehwag-Dhoni rift settled: Sourav Ganguly

Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly on Wednesday said that current captain MS Dhoni and V Sehwag have settled their difference of opinion.

Talking to reporters at a programme here, Ganguly said he recently had a talk with Sehwag who told him that everything has been settled between him and Dhoni.

Reports of a rift between Dhoni and Sehwag had surfaced after the team management introduced a rotational policy for the three openers - Sachin Tendulkar, Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir - during the tri-series in Australia last month.

To a question on the perception that Dhoni does not give a chance to many players and likes to play with a fixed team, Ganguly said, "Every skipper is different and no captain is perfect. May be Dhoni believes that this team can win because no skipper wants to lose."

On whether he would have played Manoj Tiwary and Ashok Dinda if he were the captain of India, Ganguly said, "I probably would have given a chance to them but I hope Dhoni will also give a chance to these players."

"We have three good players in Bengal team - Manoj Tiwary, Ashok Dinda and Wriddhiman (Saha). They are of international standard. So it's a good sign for Bengal. Apart from them there is also Shami Ahmed who is also a good player."

Asked about the in-form Bengal all-rounder Laxmi Ratan Shukla's chances of playing for the national side, he said, "Laxmi is probably playing his best cricket now. He is an all-rounder which a team needs. If he plays some more good series then I am sure he will get in."

Ben Hilfenhaus will replace injured paceman Brett Lee for the one-day international against Sri Lanka.

"The NSP has named Ben Hilfenhaus in the squad for the game against Sri Lanka in Perth on Friday," Inverarity said. "Ben will replace the injured Brett Lee and the bowling attack for Perth is likely to be the same as the one that did so well in Melbourne and Ben will be in Perth to provide cover."
