Monday 22nd February 2010 BCCI asks Yuvi to visit Australia India batsman Yuvraj Singh, who is struggling with a wrist injury, has been asked by the BCCI to see a specialist in Australia. Yuvraj Singh has missed out on the home series of Tests and ODIs against South Africa. "The BCCI has asked Yuvraj to go to Melbourne for consultation. But I don't know whether he has departed," said BCCI's CAO Ratnakar Shetty on Tuesday. The Punjab batsman has informed on his Twitter page that he's off to Australia for treatment after India's victory over South Africa last night in the first ODI at Jaipur. "Great stuff India! Am off to Australia for treatment -- bye Guys," he wrote in his Twitter page. Yuvraj suffered a ligament tear on his left wrist during the second and final Test against Bangladesh in Dhaka late last month and has not played since then. Shetty, however, couldn't say which particular specialist doctor Yuvraj was to consult in Australia. Shetty was also reluctant to comment on media reports quoting New Zealand Cricket (NZC) CEO Justin Vaughan that Australia and New Zealand have been kept as stand-bye to host the 2011 World Cup if the terror threat in the sub-continent is found too high. "You have to ask Vaughan," said Shetty, who is also the tournament director of cricket's showpiece event to be hosted jointly by India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in February-March next year. "You cannot move the timing of the tournament, in March-April, so really there's only Australia, New Zealand and South Africa who could host it," Vaughan had earlier told 'stuff.co.nz'.

The Indian government also asks Yuvi to have a meeting with the Australian government while he's there on the racial attacks issue on Indians ;-)

I hope he gets a surgery on his knee as well while he is there. Once he he makes a comeback..I want to remain fit for the next 2 years atleast. Too many injuries at the wrong moment for us in the past year.
