Yuvraj has been troubled by health issues since the World Cup. Reports and scans showed that Yuvraj was dealing with something really serious. Shabnam Singh said that Yuvraj Singh suffered from constant "bouts of coughing and vomiting" during the World Cup and medical tests revealed a "golf-ball size lump over the left lung. He has been recovering from a lung tumor ."
