Even a bulky Yuvraj manages to be overlooked by the selectors

So much has happened over the last week in the world of cricket. For starters, the Indian selectors refused to put their weights behind Yuvraj Singh because he was already over-weight. He was sacked from the team which will do national duty for the Asia Cup. Fans of Yuvi have justified his rampant waist line because one cannot blame him for taking a fancy to anything which is ‘broad’.

Meanwhile, titans Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe will lock horns in the finals of the tri-series, a match which has surpassed the Football World Cup in terms of the interest generated. Suresh Raina, captain of the team which missed out in the race to the finals has said that the Indian team is handicapped at handling ‘short stuff’, so from this point forward would only focus on longer tournaments like the IPL.

Also making news is captain M. S. Dhoni who missed his B. Com exams for the second year in a row. Sources close to him said that his time-table was saved in his Maxx Mobile which got stolen so he did not know the exact dates. He had even arranged for Saurabh Tiwari, who has a stark resemblance to him, to impersonate as him in the exams in return for a spot in the Indian squad which will be touring Bangladesh.

In the most stunning news of them all, the PCB has revoked the bans it had handed out to its players. Three people who were in coma for the past one year and just woke up to hear the news had to be convinced with great difficulty and that a year has actually passed and this is a fresh set of bans and rehabilitation. A board official who refused to be identified has said that this was a move to align themselves with the flourishing IT industry in India, which is known for handing out offer letters in bulk only to follow it up with a lay-off.
