Yuvraj Singh for Yorkshire

Yuvraj Singh is the second Indian to play for Yorkshire - the first was Sachin Tendulkar

Yuvraj Singh is the second Indian to play for Yorkshire - the first was Sachin Tendulkar. Yuvraj's season started with a couple of bright knocks, most notably a 71 off 37 in a Twenty20 game against Leicestershire. However, since then Yuvraj has struggled to get among the runs, and his season has been punctuated by a string of low scores, especially in the four-day competition.

August 25-28 Frizzell County Championship
Yorkshire drew with Glamorgan

No frolic on the Colwyn Bay sands for Yuvraj, who made 2 and 6 in a match that Yorkshire almost lost. They were 124 for 6 chasing 381 on the last day when Anthony McGrath, who had made 92 in the first innings, weighed in with 127 not out. For Yuvraj, a miserable season got even more depressing.

Yorkshire lost to Glamorgan by 1 run

Yorkshire fell short in a thrilling chase, as Glamorgan sneaked to a one-run win. Yuvraj came in at No. 5 and scored 23 off 30 balls, but despite Michael Lumb's 92 from 94 balls, Yorkshire couldn't quite get past Glamorgan's score of 237.

August 17 National Cricket League
Yorkshire beat Worcestershire by 3 wickets

Yuvraj's dismal county season in England continued with Yorkshire's National League game against Worcestershire. He made 12 - quickly too, off five balls with three fours - before being dismissed off his sixth ball. His contribution to Yorkshire's successful chase of 171 was thus almost negligible.

August 3 National Cricket League
Yorkshire lost to Gloucestershire by 8 wickets

Returning to the team after being dropped for a four-day match, Yuvraj's form showed no sign of improvement, as he scored just 5 from 12 balls. There was some cheer for him, though, when he dismissed Alexander Gidman to pick up his first wicket in the National League championship. Gloucestershire romped past the Yorkshire total of 183 to win by eight wickets.

July 23-26 Frizzell County Championship
Yorkshire drew with Hampshire

Yuvraj's run of poor form continued against Hampshire. He managed a mere 26 as Yorkshire put together 384, thanks mainly to 155 from Matthew Wood. In response, Hampshire scored 289, and even that would not have been possible if not for Simon Katich's unbeaten 143. Rain prevented play on the third day, and in their second dig, Yorkshire rattled up a quick 211 with Yuvraj having to remain content with an unbeaten zero off just as many balls. Hampshire clung on to earn a draw after being set 307 to win in 80 overs.
