NEW DELHI: Indias World Cup-winning cricket star Yuvraj Singh should be able to resume training in May after undergoing chemotherapy for a cancerous tumour in the United States his doctor said on Monday.
Nitesh Rohatgi a senior Delhi-based oncologist who has been treating the 30-year-old all-rounder said he was confident he would recover from the malignant tumour located between his lungs.
It is curable with the help of therapy and will not hinder Yuvrajs career in the long-term Rohatgi a consultant of medical oncology at a New Delhi hospital told reporters.
I must stress it is not lung cancer. It is located between the two lungs rather than in the lungs. Its a rare disease but something which can be cured.
Rohatgi said the cricketer would recover from the rare condition which is called mediastinal seminoma.
I am confident he will be cured and return to cricket like before said Rohatgi adding that Yuvraj will be able to start active training by May.
Yuvraj on Wednesday starts the third week of a nine-week chemotherapy treatment in the United States and will be able to do light training as he improves the doctor said.
Left-handed Yuvraj played a key role in Indias World Cup triumph last April scoring 362 runs and taking 15 wickets with his spin bowling to win with the player-of-the-tournament award.
But his family said in November that the all-rounder had been battling a golf ball-sized non-malignant lung tumour which first affected him during the tournament.
Yuvraj who has not played competitive cricket since taking part in two of three home Tests against the West Indies in November has so far scored 8051 runs in 274 one-dayers and 1775 runs in 37 Tests.

Dabangg 2 has beaten RA.One and others by fetching an all time high price of 140 cr.
Salman Khan who recently topped the Times 50 Most Desirable Men list is easily the king of Bollywood when it comes to numbers.
Thanks to the advent of multiplexes and over 12000 single screens across India Hindi cinema has been bettering its collections every quarter. Agneepath just joined the 100 cr club today though the producers advertised it two days ago. Now news has come in that Salman Khans Dabangg 2 has been picked up by UTV Motion Pictures for an unheard of 140 cr including the print and advertising costs.
Says trade consultant Amod Mehra This just proves Salman Khans supremacy as the leading actor.
For the longest time the trade sources insisted that RA.One was sold to Eros International reportedly for 150 cr. However the producers later issued a statement saying that the official figure is under 100 cr.
If that is the case then Dabangg 2 is the leader says Mehra. Once again Salman has beaten the competition hollow.
Pakistan coach Waqar Younis is concerned about the use of Dukes cricket balls in the series, saying it swings too much.
