5 reasons why Yuvraj Singh made a comeback into the Indian ODI team

#4 Planning for Champions Trophy 2017

A quirk of the scheduling meant that going into a major ICC tournament this summer, India will have only played three ODIs and three T20Is in the calendar year which also sees them play five Tests in the first three months. And with little time to blood in players for the ICC Champions Trophy, India needed someone with experience.

As a member of India’s Champions Trophy, World T20 and ICC Cricket World Cup winning sides, he has plenty of experience of playing in big tournaments as well and his selection might be aimed at the upcoming tournament.

Like how he was picked last year for his experience with the World T20 around the corner, his selection for the England series might be with the Champions Trophy in mind. And if you want an experienced middle-order batsman who can also contribute with the ball and in the field, there is none better than Yuvraj.
