Yuvraj Singh ready for Kevin Pietersen

NEW DELHI: India’s Yuvraj Singh said on Wednesday he was keen to renew his rivalry with Kevin Pietersen on the upcoming tour of England after being called a “pie-chucker” by the England batsman a few years ago.
“I know that guy well and I am really keen to throw some more pies at him and others around him,” Yuvraj said.
“And if my pies can contribute and get Pietersen’s and some other valuable wickets, I would be really delighted.”
The Indian batsman and left-arm spinner, who returned to the squad for the England tour after recovering from injury, was called a “pie-chucker” by Pietersen during a home Test series in 2008.
One-day specialist Yuvraj, in and out of the Test squad since making his international debut in 2000, said the tour would be an opportunity for him to cement his place in the team for the longer-format.
“Test cricket is one area I would like to improve and do well. I want to be a permanent member of the Test side and I know that won’t be easy,” said Yuvraj, who has so far played 274 one-dayers but only 34 Tests.”
