Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh is unlikely to play in the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League due to the ongoing treatment of his non-malignant lung tumour.

Yuvraj is currently in the United States for treatment of his tumour and once it is removed, the recuperation process will start.

“Yuvraj went to UK and from there has travelled to the United States for an advanced treatment,” said a source.

“The oncologists who will be treating him in the US will take a call on whether he would undergo surgery or any other form of treatment. But that’s for sure, he won’t be playing in the IPL.”

The tumor is situated between the lungs and the heart and so operating it “will not be easy”, the source suggested.

“The Indian doctors have told Yuvraj’s family that the operation of this tumor won’t be easy. If it can heal with medicine, nothing like it.”

It has been tough going for Yuvraj since his Man of the Series performance in India’s World Cup victory last year.

An injury kept him out of the tour of the West Indies and his tour of England was cut short by a finger injury sustained during the Nottingham Test.

The last time Yuvraj played competitive cricket was the Tests against West Indies last November.

IPLT20 cricket updates – details with list of teams in IPL and official websites

As the IPLT20 – The DLF IPL Season 2 – IPL 2009 comes closer , the cricket fans across the world are hoping for a great season with good cricket and great entertainment. This year the cricket games have been shifted to South Africa after England lost the season citing bad weather and rain threatening to play a spoil sport and could adversely affect more than half the matches. Initially Indian Government and home ministry had withheld security clearance for the Indian Premier League despite tournament organisers submitting a revised playing schedule. The Home ministry had given the reason that providing security to the players may not be feasible due to shortage of security forces as the forces would be busy safeguarding the countries elections.

The official website of the Indian Premier League - www.iplt20.com – is getting updated to give all the latest happenings about IPLT20. The technology is going to play a major role in this year as well. Every team has come up with its own website and has a big fan followers online.
