Legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar is delighted and overjoyed with the selections of Yuvraj Singh and Ashish Nehra in the T20I squad for India’s tour to Australia 2016. In a conversation with The Telegraph he said, “I am happy that both are back… They deserve it and this is the result of their hard work… I wish them and the team all the success in Australia.” Yuvraj Singh and Ashish Nehra will be playing international cricket after a long time.
