Yorkshire drop Yuvraj for game against Gloucestershire

Ahead of their County Championship tie against Gloucestershire at Cheltenham, Yorkshire have dropped Yuvraj Singh from their middle order, bringing in Gavin Hamilton instead.

Yuvraj has struggled in the County Championship, making only 137 runs in 10 innings. His big knocks for Yorkshire came only in the Twenty20 Cup.

Geoff Cope, director of cricket for the county, said: "Yuvraj has come over here and has not found it easy. Pressure has been coming from the second team, with Gavin Hamilton in good form and scoring runs, and we felt the time had come for a change."

"Yuvraj is struggling," Cope added. "He has accepted the decision and we all hope that he will find his touch and show everyone what he is capable of."
