Mumbai: The out-of-favour Yuvraj Singh’s brilliant domestic form will weigh on the selectors when they meet here today to pick the squads for the ODI tri-series against Australia and England besides the World Cup next month.

Yuvraj, who was not picked even in the preliminary list of 30 probables on December 4 last, has since come back into contention by striking three back-to-back hundreds against Haryana, Maharashtra and Saurashtra in the Ranji Trophy.

The hard-hitting left-hander, significantly the man of the 2011 World Cup that was won by India and scorer of over 8000 runs from 293 ODIs, also got among the wickets with his left-arm spin on the placid track in the match at Rajkot. With there being a question mark over Ravindra Jadeja, undergoing rehabilitation for his throwing shoulder currently, Yuvraj would weigh significantly on the selectors’ mind while choosing the Cup squad.
