New Delhi: Harbhajan Singh and World Cup man of the tournament Yuvraj Singh was named in the 30-man preliminary squad announced by BCCI for the World Cup T20 held in Sri Lanka in September.

Yuvraj is regarded as one of the best players of Twenty20 cricket in the world.

It's not sure, though, whether Yuvraj will make it to the final 15, which is likely to be announced in August.

The selectors would like to see whether Yuvraj is able to last the distance of a high-voltage T20 encounter. The biggest test for Yuvraj will probably be the Buchi Babu tournament, which will be played in the heat of Chennai in mid-August.

If he does well in that tournament, there's no reason why the left-hander won't be on that plane to Sri Lanka.
