Dashing batsman Yuvraj Singh is likely to be picked in the Indian squad for the World Twenty20 Championship for India.

Yuvraj will also be playing two T20 games against New Zealand at home on September 8 and 11, it was learnt. Officially, Yuvraj's fitness report will be tabled at the selection meeting and the selectors will pick him only after an all-clear on this front. But sources said his fitness has already been assessed and he has been deemed fit.

About the rest of the squad, middle-order batsman Rohit Sharma is on a sticky wicket due to his poor form. With Manoj Tiwary all set to retain his place, it will be tough for Rohit to make the cut. In the medium-pace department, Zaheer Khan, Irfan Pathan, Ashok Dinda and Umesh Yadav are almost certain to retain their places. The fight for the fifth slot here is between L Balaji, who had a fine IPL season earlier this year, and Vinay Kumar. This means that the squad will have only two specialist spinners. R Ashwin is a certainty while three contenders ( Pragyan Ojha, Rahul Sharma and Piyush Chawla) are vying for the other slot.
